Over-the-counter sleeping pills?

Benadryl or tylenol pm. The later has the same active ingredient.

Why dont you ask your parents about tthis first.

Better yet have Mommy rock you and sing you a lullaby.

 

speak english please

 

They never worked all that well for me. I once took about 7-8 pills because the regular 1-2 dosage did nothing for me. Of course neither did the 7-8 pills and It was the most powerful stuff they can sell. Some hot Chamomile tea worked better than these pills did.

 

Codeine is habit forming. Don't even joke about that.

Sleeping pills and some allergy/cold remedies have the same active ingredient : diphenhydramine.

I'd look into an vigorous excercise program and healthy eating instead of pharmaceuticals to help you fall asleep.

 

I will second that!!! Lay off the caffeine. No more Red Bull!! Lay off the video games a few hours before bed. No more rock music fbefore bed.

Relax

 

Oh and do a search!! this has been talked about many times in OT.

 

Repetition is the key to learning : Codeine is habit forming. Don't even joke about that.


Codiene is an opiate. It's close to heroin and morphine. No doctor who wants to keep practicing will prescribe it as a sleep aid.

If you want a a head start on a crippling addiction and want to know the hell that withdrawal is, keep it up.

 

Exercising daily and avoiding sleep-aid drugs are my recommendations.

 

You're not hearing the voices in the choir here. Pills are a quick fix that can lead to problems later on. Natural methods are best.

Sonata and Ambien are the newest prescription sleep-aids. Those are meant for short term use and are not available over the counter.

Any prescribimg health care professional who isn't Dr. Nick from The Simpsons will probably at least ask if you have a decent level of physical activity. He or She will also want to know whether or not you sit around drinking soda, eating sugary foods and wasting internet bandwidth. That's what is keeping you awake.

 

I have one word for you: Sominex


I dont ever need it anymore since I can sleep fairly easily now, but itl knock ya out good.

 

Why don't you try getting up real early? That works for me.

 

One thing that has worked many times in the past for me, dont sleep at all for a day.

I will be hard to do, but instead of getting to sleep at like 4 in the morning and waking up late in the day, dont sleep at all. You will be good and tired come it time for sleep at about 9 or 10 that night. You'll wake up at 8 or 9 the next morning, and your sleep is back on schedule.

 

Melatonin. It's available at your grocery or pharmacy. Safe and effective. I use it all the time. Synthetic/not from animal source is preferred, in light of BSE and all.

Diphenhydramine is for the birds.

 

Sominex never worked for me. And if MM is the same as me (in terms of tolerances, which I think were pretty close) it won't work for him either. I guess just take melatonin or work out before you sleep.

 

that's what works for me!

as far as over-the-counter sleeping pills; they don't help me sleep, but i used to body-trip off of about a dozen or so. pretty unhealthy... i stopped doing that.
