Has anyone tried orexin-RA-1 for inducing REM?
Not to my knowledge. Have you? Do you know anyone who has? What do you know about it?
All I know is from a press release from 7 years ago. Googling it produces rumors that it is behind schedule but still going forward.
Added: it seems to have renamed almorexant and failed a phase 3 trial. But there are other orexin antagonists still being pursued.
Where would one even get an orexin?
dunno. Orexin-RA-1 isn't a type of orexin, but a drug to block it.
Yes, that's what I meant: where does one even get useful quantities of these drugs which, AFAIK, have not gotten further than the early clinical trials? They're not really something you can just hop onto Silk Road and buy.
More than one orexin-ra has done phase 3 trials. I think that the key to creating a black market is communicating demand.
