The Z-drugs: Ambien. Lunesta. Sonata. What are these? Are they benzos? Hypnotics? When did they hit the market? Can they cause dependence? Withdrawal? BIND? These questions and more will be discussed in our feature today. In today's episode, we focus on nonbenzodiazepines, or Z-drugs. How are they like benzodiazepines, and how are they different? We also answer some questions about dosage, duration, and rebounding and we hear a story of struggle from Tulsa, Oklahoma. https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/z-drugs-the-other-benzos-an-in-depth-look-at-ambien-lunesta-and-sonata-bfp111Video ID: BFP111Chapters 00:00 INTRODUCTION02:09 My Podcast Voice05:33 Progress on Website06:33 Peer Support Training Update09:10 Struggles, Symptoms, and the Podcast14:47 A reason why, or just coincidence? 18:16 MAILBAG18:58 Does dosage or duration matter? 21:24 Rebound from medical procedures?24:31 BENZO STORY32:28 FEATURE: Z-drugs34:38 What are Z-drugs?36:00 When did Z-drugs hit the market?36:36 Do Z-drugs act like BZDs on the body?37:54 Z-drugs often partnered with BZDs39:46 What are Z-drugs prescribed for?40:07 The Quest for the Magic Pill42:04 Are Z-drugs less likely to cause symptoms?45:06 What are the Z-drug side effects?47:02 Are Z-drug symptoms different?48:20 How to taper from Z-drugs?49:05 BZD and Z-drug Terminology51:48 MOMENT OF PEACE Resources The following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.

Sarah Breskman Cosme is a certified Level 3 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) practitioner and specializes in assisting clients in regaining past life memories that can help in their healing and self-actualization journey. QHHT was pioneered by Dolores Cannon and has been used with great benefits all around the world. Sarah used past life regression hypnosis on a number of individuals who began sharing memories of having lived in Atlantis and Lemuria, and both civilizations having been seeded by extraterrestrial civilizations. Sarah met and befriended Jen Sullivan about a decade before performing a past life regression due to Sarah's QHHT certification requirements. Jen was suffering from a severe brain tumor which was completely cured by her recollection of past lives involving her time in New York, Lemuria, and Atlantis, which she wrote about in her book Child of the Universe (2020). Sarah wrote a companion book about her QHHT sessions with Jen and other individuals whose independent eyewitness recollections of life in Atlantis or Lemuria were remarkably consistent. Sarah's 2020 book is titled A Hypnotist's Journey to Atlantis: Eye Witness Accounts of our Ancient History. In her first interview on Exopolitics Today, Sarah discusses why she chose a career as a QHHT practitioner and the implications of the past life memories of multiple clients. Sarah shared her insights into her clients' testimonies and the remarkable similarities with current circumstances concerning global viruses and DNA-altering vaccines that devastated ancient Atlantis and significantly impacted the relatively untouched island continent of Lemuria. Sarah also explains powerful red crystals used for healing and weapons applications by the Lemurians and Atlanteans respectively. Finally, she explains how the Bermuda Triangle lies over remnants of Ancient Atlantis where some of the red crystals remain active.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Jetlag, Nausea, and Diarrhea are Largely Optional, published by Thomas Kwa on March 21, 2022 on LessWrong. Many people I know are aware of drugs for basic ailments, but don't bother using them because they're too much trouble to carry around. But using a pill organizer basically eliminates this overhead. For me, having a pill organizer has dramatically reduced the negative effects of insomnia, jetlag, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, etc., and significantly increased my operational capacity. In total, it has probably increased my productivity by over 3% over the last few months, and also increased my quality of life substantially. (But note that I think most people won't get such a large benefit). Just using the alertness adjustment drugs to curb jetlag saves me about 3 hours of productive time each way on critical trips. Here are the exact steps I followed, which take less than an hour and cost about $30: Get a 10-slot pill organizer (4 for $10 on Amazon). Not the same as a weekly pill organizer. Get a few basic pills from your local drugstore, supermarket, Amazon, whatever. I suggest the following: ibuprofen 200mg (Motrin, Advil) for pain, fever, etc. [1] caffeine 100mg, optionally with l-theanine loperamide/simethicone 2mg (anti-diarrhea) dimenhydrinate (Dramamine, anti-nausea) [2] melatonin 0.3mg (mild sleep aid) doxylamine 25mg (Unisom, sleep aid to be used sparingly) [3] This gives you 4 slots left for whatever other drugs you benefit from or are prescribed, maybe things like aspirin 81mg (in case of heart attack, also another option for pain) modafinil 200mg or armodafinil 150mg (suppresses sleep drive). Note that this dosage is way too much if you don't have narcolepsy. stimulants e.g. amphetamines, nicotine anti-anxiety meds [4] allergy meds (if these are antihistamines they could double as other things) electrolyte pills: sodium, potassium, magnesium Put the pills in the medication organizer, and label each compartment with the medication and dosage, using a permanent marker. You can erase the labels with alcohol wipes if needed. Carry it around in your backpack or purse. If those particular drugs don't work for you, try others that do the same thing. Our civilization has invented these multiple times and there's a good chance at least one works for your particular body. In December, I lost my pill organizer. In the few days it took me to order a new one, the following things happened: I had to stay up late to finish work, which threw my sleep schedule off. Without melatonin my sleep was out of phase for a few days, losing me about 10 hours of work. I had mild food poisoning and had diarrhea for much longer than necessary, which was very unpleasant and lost me ~3 hours of work. Someone asked if I had ibuprofen. They probably had a headache or period cramps or something for hours, or had to walk to a store. Either way, they suffered for at least an hour. All six of the basic substances listed are over the counter, have fairly low abuse potential, and have few harmful interactions (other than, say, caffeine increases wakefulness and doxylamine decreases wakefulness). However, I highly recommend doing basic research into the substances you're using (e.g. reading the wikipedia page), especially if you're customizing. Notes [1]: One could also add acetaminophen (Tylenol); ibuprofen has an anti-inflammatory effect which acetaminophen does not have but taking it too often can cause GI bleeding or kidney damage. [2]: A doctor I know suggests replacing this with ondansetron (Zofran, anti-nausea/vomiting) which requires a prescription but has almost no side effects, and is probably safe during pregnancy too. [3]: Hypnotics (sleep drugs like Unisom) are not recommended as an intervention to improve sleep in the long term compared to other interventions like melatonin, CBT...

However, I highly recommend doing basic research into the substances you're using (e.g. reading the wikipedia page), especially if you're customizing. Notes [1]: One could also add acetaminophen (Tylenol); ibuprofen has an anti-inflammatory effect which acetaminophen does not have but taking it too often can cause GI bleeding or kidney damage. [2]: A doctor I know suggests replacing this with ondansetron (Zofran, anti-nausea/vomiting) which requires a prescription but has almost no side effects, and is probably safe during pregnancy too. [3]: Hypnotics (sleep drugs like Unisom) are not recommended as an intervention to improve sleep in the long term compared to other interventions like melatonin, CBT...

In the final installment of my drug facts series, I discuss sedative-hypnotic and anxiolytic drugs with Dr. Christopher Blazes, Director of the Addiction Psychiatry fellowship at Oregon Health and Science University. Dr. Blazes is triple board-certified in psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and emergency medicine and has published and lectured extensively on benzodiazepine use. In this episode, he reviews the most commonly used drugs in the sedative-hypnotic class of medications, the risks associated with benzodiazepine dependence and addiction, and how patients who have a use disorder are treated.

Jim Jones in conversation talking about his life in music with David Eastaugh Thee Hypnotics are an English psychedelic garage rock band, formed in 1985 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. The band are currently composed of frontman James "Jim" Jones, guitarist Ray Hanson, drummer Phil Smith and bassist Jeremy Cottingham. The band split in 1999, before announcing their reformation in January 2018. The band recorded three studio and one live album for record labels including Sub Pop, Beggars Banquet/Situation Two, RCA Records, American Records. They were part of the early alternative rock and psychedelic rock London scene, and made an impact on the underground and alternative music scenes in the UK, Europe and the United States. Co-founders Jones and Hanson were originally joined by drummer Mark Thompson and bassist Adam Sharam. Personnel changes ensued with others including drummer Chris Dennis (1987–88), bassist Will Pepper (1988–93 and 1994–95), Canadian drummer Phil Smith (1989–99) and bassist Jeremy Cottingham (1997–1999). They released their first 7" single "Love In a Different Vein" in 1987 on Vinyl Solution. Thee Hypnotics subsequently signed to Situation Two a subsidiary of the independent record label, Beggars Banquet. The band cemented this union by scoring an independent chart hit with the 12" single "Justice In Freedom" and the follow up "Soul Trader".[1] Their live album, Live'r Than God (1989), elevated the band out of the UK club scene,[1] and they toured supporting both Gaye Bykers on Acid and Crazyhead, as well as on their own UK tour. In September 1989, Melody Maker noted that "Thee Hypnotics care only for their own generic past and frenetic present. The future doesn't even get a look in... Forget regression, this is reincarnation! Past, present and future!"[3] Thee Hypnotics were asked to do a radio session for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel on 28 March 1989, and they recorded "Nine Times", "Love in a Different Vein", "Soul Trader" and "Let's Get Naked", and were previewed on MTV. Thee Hypnotics began to attract attention in the United States, in particular Seattle where its own alternative rock scene was taking off. Sub Pop made Thee Hypnotics their first UK signing. Sub Pop's release of Live'r Than God! became the band's US debut, and encompassed not only a Powerhaus concert recording but also their singles to date. Thee Hypnotics shared pages with Mudhoney, Screaming Trees and Nirvana in the Seattle publication, Backlash. Seattle became a second home for the band and, after Mark Thomson was replaced by the Canadian drummer Phil Smith, the band made its US tour debut. The Damned took the band out as their support act. The Lords of the New Church approached Thee Hypnotics lead singer, Jim Jones, to front the Lords but he declined. Subsequently, Stiv Batorswore a T-shirt with a 'singer wanted' advert and then sacked his band onstage.[6] In 1989, Ray Hanson and Jim Jones joined Stiv Bators onstage at The Opera On The Green, Shepherd's Bush, London, as temporary Dead Boys, after Cheetah Chrome failed to secure a work visa.

In our 92nd episode, we’re joined by one of Lauren’s oldest friends, Andres Vizcarra of Becker Farms and Vizcarra Vineyards in Gasport, New York. Andres D.A.R.E.s to cover the four main categories of intoxicants: stimulants, hypnotics, inebriants, and hallucinogens. Later, enjoy a quiz on intoxicants! . . .

It's a circular problem; you can't fall asleep and you get anxious about it. Then the anxiety keeps you from falling asleep. This can go on for years and has in many of my patients.  Hypnotics aren't the best solution but I'll discuss some good techniques which have helped myself and my patients.  My name is Dr. Mo. I attended a Family Medicine residency at UCLA. Read more at www.medicalhealthcoach.com Email me with questions at Dr. Mo.

And we're back! It's been a while, but finally it's time for another podcast, so we've made it a long one. Take this episode on a long train ride or car trip, as Dr Boob and I explore the science of the spells of Harry Potter.Attempting to find scientific and engineering solutions to Harry Potter spells is probably the most difficult task we have set ourselves yet, so we would be very interested to hear how you would made the Harry Potter spells a reality. The spells dealt with in this episode are:Lumos - Producing light from the end of a wand (A voice activated torch seems a logical solution),Aguamenti - Shooting water from the end of the wand,Alohomora - Picking a lock at a distance,Expecto Patronum - Protection against evil dementors in the form of some virtual creature, Sectumsempra - Slicing your opponent open,Aparecium - Reading invisible ink,Accio - Summoning things to you,Expelliarmus - Disarming your opposition of their wand,Confundo - Confusing the victim,Stupefy - Stunning the victim, Invisibility cloak - Covering yourself in a cloak to make yourself invisible, Imperio - Forcing your victims to obey your commands,Obliviate - Erasing the memories of the victim,Legilimens - Telepathy. Although some of these are quite clearly impossible at the moment, in every case we have come up with a scientific or engineering solution to take us at least part of the way there. Listen in to find out what we came up with, and please write in and let us know where we have gone wrong or what you would do.Click play below or listen to this show here.
