Reply With QuoteMy dad used to go to a therapist for his stress. I don't think they gave him any prescription medicine for the stress but for sleep I would go with melatonin.

If you want weird dreams...
Plouffe's Dream Stack
1000mg Valerian Root
1000mg St.Johns Wart
1000mg Ginko Biloba
6mg Melatonin
It's awesome.
Take that 45 minutes before hop in a hot shower. Totally Relaxation / 0 Stress. And if you happen to Dip* " Chew Tobacco " --- Throw in a fat ass dip in the shower. That usually tops it off for myself. Goodluck man.

Is it true that chew makes your veins smaller?

I don't see how that is possible. I do know that smokers have a lot of veins but smoking and chewing are pretty different.Originally posted by Budz08

It's called ZMA. If you do a search, there are many postings here in regards to this supplement.
As for stress......take things one day at a time. If you need talk, send me a PM. We've all been there at some point
Thanks

I would suggest you try the amino acid 5 HTP. Take 150 mg about 2 hours before bed. It has been proven in clinical trials to be effective at helping people fall asleep. Also, it is used to reduce anxiety and depression since it raises serotonin levels.
3 caps of ZMA about 30 minutes before bed is a great stack with the 5 HTP. The magnesium will relax you and most athletes are defiecient in zinc, so it's worth taking."Let me quarterback this"== Lorenzo in TRAINING DAY

I believe in St. John's Wart. When things get a little hectic in my life, taking St. John's Wart for a couple of days seems to take the edge off a little.

Melatonin and St. Johns Wart.
I have a type A personality and very weird sleep issues, so I take melatonin. Take just a little bit from the caplet and lick it off your hand, and go to sleep just fine. You may not need to much, so be careful or you will be groggy.
You will not wake up during sleep and have great REM sleep with lots of dreams.
Lay off the caffeine after like 4pm too!

Valerian root is great!

If you just want something that will knock your ass out, try "Simply Sleep" by Tylenol.
Two of those and you'll be sleeping like a rock. You might wake up a little groggy though.
