Tinnitus? I have ringing 24/7 !

But ya, magnesium helps that too. I'm gonna guess you are deficient.

I like to think that the ringing in my ears is from all the DMT I've smoked. It's my little connection to the other world :lol:

TL;DR:

Eat good, exercise during the day, meditate before bed, go to sleep on a regular schedule, and dose some magnesium dawg!

VERY RELEVANT LINK
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/163169.php

It appears I MAY be right. You may be deficient in calcium and magnesium. They say that's a common cause of being unable to get a full nights sleep or to go deep into sleep.
Would also explain the restlessness, and ringing in the ears. Those are also signs of magnesium deficiency.

Get that ancient minerals shit. I can guarantee positive results. It helps practically everything.
http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Minerals-Ultra-Pure-Magnesium/dp/B001AD0HL8

I know after I started dosing it and was no longer deficient.. my sleeping was MUCH easier and restlessness practically disappeared.
I can't really say enough good things about that stuff.

kava kava (an hour before sleep), valerian(2 hours before sleep), melatonin(when you lay
down), and weed (sometime in between those).

you could also go the doxylamine route, or the benzodiazepine path.

all of the above has also worked for me before. Adderall can take a tole on your sleep schedule
IME. and that doesn't turn out well for anyone in your life, including yourself.

remember though since you take a stimulant, you'll need to be taking higher dosages of
previous listed drugs. im not giving advice on dosage, you know your body best.

I'm almost positive you have a magnesium deficiency based on everything you've described.

:cheers:

Report back with the results!

Kava is pretty amazing too. But if you are deficient in magnesium.. get that taken care of first, because that effects everything else.

I'm pretty sure I've also read that magnesium deficiency, makes other drugs/vitamins and substances less bio-available to your body - i.e - you don't absorb them fully.

I tried with mushrooms. I ate 3 grams when I was deficient and had a mild trip.
After I had been dosing magensium, I ate those same mushrooms, 3 grams... and had one of the most intense trips of my life.

well magnesium is an electrolyte, and adderall depletes you of those.

get some b vitamins, and electrolytes in you and see if that helps

I'm going to look into this, because I feel as though I may be deficient. Nevermind, I looked into it and I'm definitely deficient. I didn't realize how important magnesium is in the body. Nor did I know that only 1% of your bodies magnesium is stored in the bloodstream, so your primary physician probably doesn't check you for a deficiency.

Great info Shroomism.

B vitamins too! I forgot all about those.

That's a little harder to recover from a B-vitamin deficiency, it can take weeks or months.
Magnesium is absorbed instantly.
B-vitamins, if you are deficient, you have to take them regularly for your body to build back up its natural stores.

Ya man, I had no idea either.. until I started doing the transdermal magnesium.. and realizing HOW FUCKING GOOD I FELT. Like it improved my quality of life in 20 different areas. All these weird little symptoms I had that I couldn't explain, just... went away. After doing some research into it, I realized how freaking important magnesium is for just about EVERY function of the human body, and how many people are deficient and have no clue.

But glad I could be of service. Makes me feel good to help people.

Also... the great thing about the ancient minerals... its an oil.. you just rub it on your skin.. let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and rinse it off.

Your body will only absorb as much as it NEEDS, and no more.

Clonidine.


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

I wish more people nowadays had that sort of mentality. You're a good man, and I thank you for putting yourself before others. I hope the good you do comes back around to you!
