Natural sleep recommendations

Posted by taylorma @taylorma, Apr 24 7:54am

I have neuropathic itch at night that drives me crazy and keeps me from sleeping. I tried different stuff. I’m currently taking ambien and it does okay but i hear it can be linked to dementia and some of the side affects bother me. I was wondering if anybody has found a safe and effective alternative to get a good night sleep.

I live in a state with legal THC gummies and also cannabis,etc. I have not found a gummie that makes me sleep well. Is there a brand I could try that works?

@cent66 I used the brand Minny Grown. They have several for sleep, I prefer the original Hibernate Blackberry with 5mg THC and 10mg CBN. They are expensive, $29 for 10 gummies. If you sign up on their website, you will be notified of sales. Sometimes they have BOGO, buy one and get one free. That's when I would stock up.

What helped me more than gummies was LDN low-dose naltrexone. Here is an article about it, or I could answer questions you have. https://neurolaunch.com/naltrexone-and-sleep/

@cent66 are they THC & CBD? That's what you need. Not just THC. IF YOU TRY GUMMIES WITH BOTH I WOULD DO A HALF FIRST.

@cent66 Low dose naltrexone (LDN) can cause insomnia as a side effect, usually during the initial adjustment period. It's often temporary and may improve after a week or so.

It actually helped cure my terrible insomnia a short while after I built up to the maintenance dose of 4.5mg/day. There are even studies showing it can help with insomnia. https://neurolaunch.com/naltrexone-and-sleep/
