what are some good over the counter sleeping pills?

one of my roommates used to be a coke addict so his body isn’t used to sleeping. since he kicked his drug habit, he’s had to take sleeping pills every night to go to sleep. he built up a tolerance for tylenol PM and a few others.

what are some over the counter sleeping pills that work wonders?
:: he doesn’t have insurance so prescription meds and doctor visits are out of the question ::

Whether this is all in my head or not, I have to take sleeping pills to sleep. They are generic OTC pills, usually the simply sleep stuff made my tylenol or something along those lines. I usually take between 1-2 pills, 25-50 mg of dyphenhydramine at a time, which is the recommended dosage. I have tried to not take them but I can’t sleep, and I’m sure it’s a mind thing now as well as the fact they actually work. But really, how bad would it be if took them everyday? Would it hurt my liver (or kidneys, I can’t remember which one is for meds) any more than birth control or any other meds that we take an a daily or near daily basis?

I’ve been taking Tylenol Sleep Aid sleeping pills for a while and I take one per night because I can’t sleep through the night. Now, I don’t want to discuss what my problem is, rather I would want to know what are the side affects of using Tylenol Sleep Aid for a long extended period of time. We’re talking about 6 months to year.
Anyone have any ideas?

I’m not going to lie here. I’m addicted to Tylenol Pm or any of the over the counter sleeping aids. I can sleep good at night. I take them because I like how my body feels. The drowsiness, and waiting game excites me. I have been taking 2-6 pills during a whole day. I’m sort of depressed now, so the pills helps me escape.

How are these pills harmful.

I’m a tosser and have trouble sleeping.. when I take Advil PM (or tylenol PM.. barely different) I find that I sleep really well! But I have sore shoulder the day after and I’m guessing it is because I don’t toss and change positions as I would without the medication.

Anyone else experience this?

(I’m just getting a general reaction in the area of pain/discomfort in the morning, not looking for sleep aid advice)

Ok, so…. I’ve cut out caffeinated beverages(soda, iced tea, red bull), quit consuming alcohol, tried to keep the stress to a minimum by meditating before bed.

I still can’t seem to get to sleep at night? I know going through a breakup doesn’t help put the mind at rest, but after 3 months I should be getting back to a regular sleep schedule, right? I’m physically exhausted most nights, but wind up starring at the wall for hours. Does anybody have any surefire ways to get rid of insomnia without Tylenol pm, or other prescribed sleep aids? Oh, I also quit watching tv in my bedroom, and nothing.

I’m driving from Nebraska to Kentucky with my husband in a week. We agreed we’d divide up the time driving since it is a 12 hour drive. If i took a sleep aid such as tylenol pm at 6 am when we leave and slept until about 10 am would I be safe to drive after I wake up.
Thanks guys!

I wake up every night in the middle of the night unable to sleep. I get about 3 hours and then im done. I cant get comfortable, i have horrible heartburn, and toss and turn all night. I am about ready to take a tylenol pm, but i know too much of doing that isnt good either. All i want is so sleep! I am tired but my body thinks otherwise… anyone else had this problem in the past and found a solution? Thanks

I am trying to adjust to a tird- shift schedule. The television commercials for Tylenol PM ?? say that it helps getting to sleep ? Is the product safe for occasional use ? Are there any safe, non- addictive sleeping- aid type products ?
Thank you

For the last year, I have used Tylenol PM and Nyquil to help me go to sleep and I am trying to refrain from using sleep aids to go to sleep now. The only problem is that my body is having a hard time getting back to sleep without using some sleep aid. I know that it is not healthy to abuse the over-the-counter products but I just simply do not know how to train my body to go to sleep naturally now. Does anyone here have advice to give regarding this? Thank you!

I have had trouble sleeping for the longest time. I try not to take meds for it but sometimes I can’t help taking 2 tylenol PM every night. I saw some questions/answers on here that mentioned Melatonin. Is this a prescription like ambien or lunesta?
