During 2008, my year of cocaine selling/binging, I had taken various depressants and benzos to counteract insomnia after a night out. On one such occasion I managed to get hold of a 30mg of flurazepam (blue). My sister (who is a nurse) told me this was a high enough dose and to be careful, so I assumed it would be the perfect thing to drift to sleep after being out all night, so I thought I'd save it for a real night of excess.

In September I went to a debs (Irish equivalent of a prom) and brought 1/4 ounce of coke, half to sell, half to snort. I snorted my share of the quarter and as you can imagine was extremely jittery and hyper, so upon arriving home at 7am I swallowed the capsule with some water, feeling fairly sure I'd sleep well. I was wrong.

I specifically remember lying there, my body feeling heavier and my head drowsy, but sleep didn't come, so I stayed lying there for a couple of hours. After this I knew it was time to get up and face my mother and tell her how the night had been, so I rose up out of bed with great difficulty and wobbled to the stairs. This was a task in itself. My legs felt very weak and I was worried I was going to fall so I sat down at the top of the stairs and moved one step at a time in this fashion. I told my mother how the night had been (leaving out certain details of course) and then collapsed on the couch and stayed there for the day. It felt very much like a hangover.

In conclusion I think if I had taken a higher dose sleep would have been possible, but 30mg wasn't enough.
