Need a home remedy concoction to put me to sleep now! For Hours!
Either that or I'm ready and have the means to go to sleep for good.
I never wake to anything but pain and it never leaves, so don't know what I'll do when I do wake ... if I do?
But, if I don't go to sleep very very soon, well then, I've had enough!

Dave, I suppose the docs won't give you anything to knock you out for a couple days, or maybe admit you to induce a short coma (or however that works)??
I'm so sorry hon... I really am. 
love u

Don't think I could wait that long even if they did, I'm talking minutes or maybe, just maybe hours.

Every last ounce of energy is headed straight to CO right now....

David? Am I gonna hafta come down there and kick yer butt? Because I will, ya know.
Does benadryl work for you? It's worked wonders for Mike in the past. Same with Dramamine. Both cause sleep as a side effect and the beast doesn't break through because you don't reach REM. But...from the tone of your post, sounds like any kind of sleep would be golden right now.
Please, my friend. Try one of these? (Don't try both because they will counteract each other and zip you up like you would not believe. )
Praying for your peace, Dave - as always. Annette? You there? We want to help you both.

Hi Dave
St John's Wort tea, you can buy it at health shops, just don't use with other anti-depressants.
Monkshood(Aconite napellus) you can get in homoeopathic form, (only safe way to use it!!!) but works well, also constricts blood vessels but be careful if you are already taking vasoconstrictors.
Chamomile tea & honey - very safe
That is the only one's I can recommend, the others will certainly kill you 
But seriously, I know it is rough on you but like Mell said won't your doc induce sleep therapy for a few days?
That will at least give you a bit of a break.
Just remember we are hangers, you can always lean on us.
Hugs

If you have nothing else, try Nyquil.
Hang in there. it WILL get better.

Yeah, I'd rather you do the Nyquil instead of what I was going to suggest. I don't think that drinking till ya pass out would be very wise... 
Only things that have knocked me on my butt are Nyquil gelcaps, benedryl and morphine.

Tried about everything mentioned, think I'll just go sit down and empty this bottle of Xanax ... see what happens.
Will keep computer on this site for a while though, not sure I'll be able to respond in a bit

Dave, I'll tell you right now, OD'ing on Xanax will NOT make it better, trust me.
Now dammit, where is Annette? I don't have your phone number, or else I'd call you. Would it fucking kill you to get admitted? You need HELP!

Don't do it, Dave - or call 911. Get some medical supervision if you are that bad off.

Have you tried trazedone? If not call your Doc.
OTC? Benedryll is the most common sleep aid.

Dave, I have taken only two and a half .5mg xanax pills during a panic attack... it kept me up ALL FUCKING NIGHT. Some pills won't put you to sleep when you overdo them, some keep you up. Asprin did the same thing to me when I attempted suicide when I was 16. I downed the whole bottle, and ended up with the shakes and sweats all night long (yeah, I know weak cry for help, fuck off those who laugh at it).
Don't take any more, please? If it would help, have someone call for you, but don't let your ego get in the way of saving your sanity.

Last time I took Benedryll ... doc at ER beat me up!
Litterally! Physically! I may have got him fired for it though. Tired of docs now, nothing but bull.
What sucks is I still have to wake, and what for?

How I wish I had words of wisdom for you, my friend. Sadly, nothing comes to mind.
You've fought this long and this hard Dave - please tie another knot in that rope of yours and try to hang on one more time.
I agree with the others though, you need to call 911 and have them take you straight to an emergency department.
Please, please, hang in there. One day at a time.
Hugs to you and Annette.

St Johns wort can be a bad trigger for CHers.

I don't even like calling MY wife.

So, you'll just have to assume that everyone here, and there, cares about you.

Dave, what would you tell a friend if he made this statement to you??
I know you're going through hell.
I know you're exhausted and in pain.
I also know this WILL end............
and I know you're smart enough to know this.
Take our energy,
Take our collective strength and use it for now.
Read the suggestions........try them again!
Please Post! Please take care of you.

Not me who called - would have if I could have found your number online.....
and, not to make light of what's going on with you, but... I just mailed you a gift - 2 to 3 day Priority - so you're gonna have to stay around until then....
And now to be serious:
Don't give in to that temptation, Dave. If your wife comes home and finds you've left us, let it be natural and not at your own hand - don't put her through that, please!

Dave has been taken to the hospital. He was kept on the phone until Annette got there. He's in good hands.
