Found Flurazepam

sleepcoachjohn, please don't judge those of us who must take a prescribed sleep med to get good quality sleep. Sleep is very very important for one's health and I don't mind taking a medication every night to get that good quality sleep! I have been very healthy since getting good quality sleep and getting that sleep helps all the other issues. My anxiety and fibromyalgia are much much better if I get good sleep! So please don't be too preachy and maybe get off your high horse and have some empathy for those of us who need to take a sleep medication. It gives us QUALITY OF LIFE!!

cactusheadaz, please let us know what you find out about flurazepam. It really is a mystery. It's like there is a secret ingredient that they found works extremely well for people, so now they want to cash in on this miracle drug!! Let us know please!

cantek... marijuana does not have the same effect on everyone....it has never worked for me in any good way

stoughco, I really hope you can get the Flurazepam!! I've tried lots of different sleep meds, as well as Trazodone which did not work for me. If you can't get Flurazepam, maybe ask your doctor for Lorazepam. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I did try Lorazepam and it is not good for me. I definitely felt it the next day, it must take a long while to get out of your system. I felt after using it 3x in a week that my overall mood was declining. Seems like a depressant to me.

I have half a bottle in the cupboard waiting for a pharmacy disposal day…

Flurazepam was a godsend to me… no hangover, good sleep, no mood changes.

But no way can I afford the cash price for it.

raina726, I'm sorry lorazepam didn't work good for you. It calms your nerves....so you should feel more relaxed. But like every med, they can affect people differently. Maybe it works best taken everyday. Not sure. But I know for sure that Diazepam stays in your system longer than lorazepam. I really liked how Diazepam worked so well with my anxiety. It even seemed to help the next day. It seemed to give me a "boost" in my mental attitude too. Seemed to give me a happy feeling... Did lorazepam help you sleep? Did your doctor switch you to something else? I take Amitriptyline with Lorazepam. 1.5mg of lorazepam and 30mg Amitriptyline per day.....taken at night. It took awhile but I've found a combination that works well for me. I was quite depressed the first 9 months of 2024 because my legs were aching very badly to the point that I couldn't walk without pain. And I am a big time walker!! Lorazepam wasn't helping the depression (its not an anti-depressant) so that's when my doctor prescribed the Amitriptyline. Started out taking 10mg and I could tell right away it was helping alot! It is an amazing medication! I researched alot and found this med. It's really been around a long time and from the reviews I read on it....I thought it might be the one for me. My doctor had wanted to add Duloxetine to my meds, but I told her I wanted to try the Amitriptyline and she agreed. I suggest everyone do their own research and read reviews on the website Drugs.com. So maybe give Amitriptyline a try.... it has a high rating and helps multiple things. For me, it helped sleep, depression, anxiety and pain. Good luck!

raina726, about the price of Flurazepam now...... I went on the website Goodrx.com and found I could get it at my local Walgreens for $19.39..... you need to call around your area to all the pharmacies and find out. Or, just go on that website... GoodRx.com and put in your zip code and it will tell you the prices at the local pharmacies. Good luck!

One more thing you should try.... over the counter sleep aid called Unisom. Just make sure the active ingredient is Doxylamine. There are some Unisoms that have the active ingredient diphenhydramine.... which does help but I feel the active ingredient Doxylamine helps much better. You can break them in half if a whole pill makes you groggy the next morning.

You’re right that’s the price Walgreens always charged with GoodRx. The last 4 months Walgreens says their distributor can’t get it…

I’m going to try Target and Publix they also have the cheapest price.

What’s with Costco $400-500 foot a prescription that’s been generic for 40 years?? … very weird.

I spent a good portion of my adult life on Anti-depressants. I don’t want them. Been without for 9 years. They were a bandaid. And side effects horrible. I started on amitriptyline back when it was called elavil … I’ve tried them all I think.
I’ve managed well without them.

The insomnia will always be a challenge.

I never take a medication daily anymore. I was addicted to Klonopin for many years. It took me a full three years to taper off it and it was very painful.

So I’m very cautious.

You’re right we all have to make our own decisions based on our reactions to these medicines and our conditions.

Good Luck finding flurazepam at a cheap price! I wish we knew why??? I don't get any side effects from amitriptyline. I know alot of meds have bad side effects. I finally found a good combination after trying many. I am fine with taking these daily, to better my quality of life. Hope I never have to taper off them.....I've heard from many it's very very hard.
