Butisol Sodium Reviews

For Sedation "I was prescribed this medication for treatment-resistant insomnia, but I've found that it actually works best for relieving anxiety and promoting general relaxation. I have social anxiety especially. I took one before a wedding, and it really helped me be able to interact with others (rather than sit in a corner alone). In terms of the insomnia, Butisol knocks me out a couple of hours earlier than other medications I've tried. Also, experiencing no hangover or side effects the day after is a huge bonus"


For Sedation "Butisol Sodium is the only medicine that can make me fall asleep when I’m suffering from a migraine I have had migraines since I was a child and this is the last line of defence after I’ve tried taking my Imitrex shot and taken Advil and have already started vomiting it’s much cheaper than the shorter acting but faster acting barbiturates ( Seconal, Nembutal) I am also left with no hangover. This med used properly is amazing"


For Sedation "Been on it for almost 2 months for migraine it does great when taken every 4 hours but if you forget one the damn migraine is 10 times worse I'm happy with it so far"
