sleeping pills?




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 ::

My brother has been very depressed lately and I found a bottle of sleeping pills in his room. Is it possible to kill yourself with over the counter stuff like tylenol pm?

I use to take tylenol pm when I couldnt sleep, but I was too sleepy to get up in the morning.My doctor doesnt think I have a big enough problem to get a Rx, so any over the counter 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)

Does anyone have any cures for insomnia?




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.
Help

is it safe to take a sleep aid and drive after?




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

How can I go to sleep without using sleep aids?




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!

Is Melatonin a prescription or over the counter?




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?

I have chronic insomnia. It started probably 8 years ago. On an initial appointment with a new OBGYN, my doctor asked if I was on the pill. I answered yes, and he advised me to go off of it because over time, the pill interferes with serotonin levels. I did that, and in a week was sleeping like a baby. Then, over the course of time, my sleeping problems came back. It has been years on and off of sleep aids. I have tried Valerian root, melatonin, tylenol pm, and of course the prescription stuff, but then I end up a zombie the next day. I read about 5-htp and was wondering whether or not this might be a solution.

Are there any homeopathic cures for insomnia?




I am currently suffering from insomnia. My doctor has prescribed Lunestra, Ambien, even Tylenol PM, vicodine and valium. None of it is helping, and I still wake up every hour. My mind won’t let me sleep, even when my body is tired from running or swimming. I don’t like the side effects these drugs have on me (and I don’t like taking drugs anyway). I just want a good night of sleep, worry free. Any suggestions?
Thanks Mike C, I went to the sites you suggested and will talk to my doc!
