Yes I had same problems with Ambien - would first take it for long plane trips (14 hours or more haha) and it made me feel good with good sleep but it also caused some strange behaviors in me that scared me
Now I used a product that someone in the gym recommended called SOMATOMAX - it is sold as a supplement and I mail order it - it works as good as the drugs it is a non prescription product and makes me feel good with good sleep

why you always so angry here?

thank you for angry explanation of why you are so angry

Thank you for sharing this....
Good people need all the help they can get

sorry but this man has some problems
i looked at his ad and i got crazy and angry messages from him and keeps wanting me to call him even after he scares me away
be careful with him

Welcome to the forum, Michael. 

Clearly you have an opinion which are now defending with circular reasoning:   Your premise: People only died with Covid if they had a preexisting condition therefore if you died of Covid you had a preexisting condition.  .  A million people in the US  died.  About 10000 of them were under 50.  If you chose to believe that every one of those 100000 who died had some vague underlying condition to justify which is reality is an unjustifiable position, continue.  If you do not know you have a pre-existing condition and it is found on autopsy, then your decision to not take the vaccine as you did not have a pre-existing condition was incorrect but unknowable.  
By the way, The number of autopsies done during the height of the pandemic were minimal as most medical personel were busy trying to keep people alive.  Autopsies in general have decreased in frequency for many reasons but to assert or imply that autopsies would have proven that those young people who died of Covid really had a previously unknown risk factor which became apparent post mortem has no bearing on their particular decision to have or not have the vaccine.  But there is a precedent for uncovering underlying disease on autopsy. 
During the Viet Nam war autopsies done on battle field casualties revealed an astonishing high number of them had a degree of coronary artery disease, most men in their 20s many hard early CAD.  Those people still died of the wounds inflicted and not from CAD.  The healthy people under 50 who died from Covid, died from Covid.  One day they were fine and a week later they were dead from Covid.   Many of those that died did so after the vaccine was available and they chose not to take it.  They lived with that decision and some of them died as a result of that decision.  
If anything your argument that only at risk young individuals died of Covid would suggest that since one can never be absolutely sure that one does not have a risk factor since there was this great uncovering of risky medical condition on the innumerable autopsies you suggest were done, that taking the vaccine to cover that possibility is probably prudent.  That was the decision that you made for yourself.  That indicates to mean that you at least think there may be some legitimacy to the vaccinations.  

Ever notice it's the non-medical science armchair crowd and Monday morning quarterbacks that are the most knowledgeable about Covid and the vaccines?   🙄

i feel that way about white people because they all DO look the same

I think saying everyone who has died of COVID-19 had pre-existing conditions is speculation, not science. Or it's practically pointless. Nick Cordero was by all accounts a healthy 41-year old man who was a Broadway dancer so likely in incredible shape for his age. Yet he died of COVID-19 without any apparent pre-existing conditions. 
Someone like Nick Cordero might not seem like someone at risk of a bad case of COVID, but he clearly did. And if he could die of COVID, I really don't think we have any clue of who else would be at risk. Unfortunately Nick got COVID before the vaccine. But the evidence is clear that COVID vaccines lower the rate of hospitalizations and deaths.  That's not a risk I'm willing to take.

Transmission, otherwise known as secondary attack rates, isn’t amenable to measurement because the assessment context is heterologous. All households contain a variable mix of immunity and its temporality. Household members also engage with the outside world. You cannot design transmission efficacy without a clear assignment of two separate scenarios held constant. Such a prospective design is cost-probibitive. This is one of the reasons that the basis of vaccination is oriented to morbidity and mortality. To suggest an elective uptake is outrageous considering that most people making that decision would be lacking comprehension of risk or are simply contrarian; they would not tend to be cavalier about the right to choose and its potentially dire consequences. It is not incontrovertible that transmission is not reduced by uptake, for the design reasons I put forward. 

I find this to be disingenuous. I began by critically appraising a Florida bulletin that derived from a lack of research acumen in interpreting cardiac mortality in terms of such clinical outcomes being attributable to vaccination. You opined that healthy people do not benefit from vaccination over and above infection, input unrelated to the thread and its hyperbole-slanted headline, and that the standard for assessing vaxx uptake legitimacy should be advanced awareness of one’s baseline medical status, notwithstanding the infrastructure impediments to that standard. That is simply unrealistic in the real world. Your viewpoint accompanied by a self-referential rendering of personal health status, related attention to it, and its influence on your own decision-making, as well as an anecdote about a gathering in which some transmission potential exists in spite of immunity and/or test neg’y, something we already know. Then you suggest that vaccination be a personal choice, seemingly predicated on your own distinctive advantage regarding health self-awareness, when in fact personal choice for a majority of decliners is confounded by distorted interpretations of science or rejections of compelling findings that support the merits of vaccination uptake. And you suggest that inferiority in health management self-efficacy is central to poor outcomes …. when the competing reality as we know it is that such limitations are not intrinsic to the individual.
If you had opened with the Big Lie victimization and over-extrapolating from personal experience I’d have wasted less of my time.
If you had begun a thread of your own I would likely have not responded. This is the liability of attempting to provide input into a topic. Lesson learned; the pandemic is one of convoluted thinking and tangential input. I am not in a position to disabuse others of their flawed views. In contrast, I was capable of deconstructing the data on which the misguided Florida public health guidance on vaccination was based.

Perfectly stated.

This is specious. If you consider healthy status to be dichotomously yes/no (as you seem to suggest) a viral infection is by definition representative of compromised health. A common cold caught at baseline health, irrespective of that health, shifts well-being status to unhealthy on the overall gradient of health/wellbeing. Nobody can possibly know what huge array of personal complex variables predispose them to morbidity and mortality upon CoV infection. As such, it would be ludicrous to stratify one’s potential benefit of vaccination according to knowing something essentially unknowable. The suggestion to bypass vaccination remains absurd. Science without logic falls flat.

Thanks. I've twice texted his phone number similarly - no response.  My take on him is that he lives in LA (like me), but he seems much more likely to take appointments when he is traveling to other cities.  Most of his reviews are from guys he's met in those city travels.
As to the 'part-time' aspect, I can understand that. But he does seem to be online and checked into RM account consistently - at least once a day. And he updates his ad frequently.
I still think a simple 'no' response to my polite inquiries would have been preferable to utter silence.  That doesn't jive with his 'nice', 'friendly' and 'approachable' reputation and it remains a mystery to me.  Still, I envy those who got to meet him.

Typical Chinese massage trick. Post sexy pictures then send some random guy who doesnt look anything like that. ( Asians all look alike after all.) 😉

In some people, melatonin can have a paradoxic effect.   One of the effects of melatonin is to reduce cortisol.  In some people, it reduces cortisol too much.  The adrenals compensate for the sudden reduction in cortisol by producing adrenaline, which, of course, leads to wakefulness.  If I take a melatonin supplement before bed, say at 10 or 11, at about 1AM, I open my eyes and am instantly wide awake - because of that flood of adrenaline triggered by the melatonin.  Unless I take another sleep aid, I will be awake for several hours.
