Working on a 3 day insomnia trip, dunno where its come from, kinda out of the blue, just really struggling to shut off...feel bloody great though, in the past when Ive had insomnia its always been the result of a really black spell, yet this time thats not been the case...maybe its a delayed adrenalin rush or something...Ive had few naps, but dont think Ive napped for more than 4 hours total in the past 3 days...Ive used up all my Zopiclone, and cant put another script in for another 5 days, Ive been tripling the dose to see if it knocks me out, but its doing nothing at the moment, not even slowing me down at all, i feel like the energizer bunny...its in the back of my mind the longer i go, the bigger the chance of me having a psychotic episode.
My question is, can anybody recommend/or has anybody any tips for things that have worked for them in the past?

As always, it's much better and more effective to treat the root causes for your insomnia. Sleep is just the symptom. This is what I would suggest discussing with your doc.

I would say, the other responses before me are right.
Would like to thank everyone for the advice, thank-you all!
