Starting late last year I developed some insomnia and anxiety problems. (unsatisfied with career, life etc.) They got much worse after getting fired in February. Sleep did not come easy as my mind raced trying to figure out what to do with my life and if I was going to make it. I tried melatonin, 5-htp, valerian and countless other sleep aids to no avail. The only thing that worked would be about 5 benadryl, but the next day I was barely alive.
Last night about 11:15 I opened up 2 caps of X-Dream and poured them under my tongue. It tasted awful, like coffee grounds that had been floating in a truck stop toilet for a few days. It eventually dissolved. I sat in bed and read for about 35 minutes until I thought I was groggy, turned off the light and laid down. Thats when my typical nightly experience of my heart pounding in my chest and reverberating throughout multiple points in my body started. (Caused by being an anxiety sufferer, we have more adrenaline in our system, and constant worrying means we're permanently on the edge of panic, which causes adrenaline to be released that leads to palpations.) So I laid there for about 15-20 minutes thinking great, I'm going to be the one person in the world that X-Dream wont work for, which led to even more anxiety. And then, all of the sudden I was out. I didn't sleep straight through the night, I actually woke up several times, which was good because my dreams were so freaking intense I needed a few minutes to tell myself that it was just a dream. Sitting here now I can't remember exactly what they were, I just remember how I felt after waking from them. I plan on keeping some paper by my bed tonight to write them down as I wake up.
Definetly a good experience, made sleeping fun again. I guess it just takes more time to work in my system than others. I may try just swallowing the caps tonight, because I may have lost some of the powder when I was opening them. If you're skeptical, give it a shot it will be a ride you will enjoy.
