Nembutal Sodium (pentobarbital) for Insomnia "I have found this medicine to be very good in helping me fall asleep and wake feeling very rested. I have taken it for 30 years off and on with absolutely no problems. Generally I use it as prescribed to regulate my sleep cycle and never more than 21 days out of the month."

Nembutal Sodium (pentobarbital) "Nembutal worked very well to suppress valium withdrawal. ( in doctor setting in combination with methadone for heroin withdrawal) Feels different than any drug I've ever tried and I've tried almost every drug known to man. Feels like a benzo but stronger and more physical than mental."

For Insomnia "Too bad most all physicians do not trust patients to take home barbiturate hypnotics anymore; the utility of these drugs is very small anyway---for occasional use ONLY as directed. Yet they are way more effective for insomnia than the too weak alternatives of today / 2022 that encourage sleepwalking type activity which is potentially fatal or embarrassing and too often failing their indication efficacy. Yes, another "Oh Well" moment for the growing list!"
