It's 1:30 am & Iam also still up ....this medication IAm on is driving me up a wall ....7 more days to go before it gone & I can stop being hyper (LOL).....hope you have better luck than me in the sleep department .
OTC sleep aids are are antihistamines. Can't do them...they last in my system for days and I can't wake up! So I have taught myself to sleep. Now I can sleep anywhere, anytime, even standing up! I boarder on narcolepsy.
Just happened to be out of melatonin last night. I usually have a prescription for Ambien and take 1/2 of one each night....but my doctor won't refill my Rx unless I come in for a visit. I'm kind of at the point right now that either I can afford my medicine or I can afford my dr's visit...but not both.
Didn't have anything alcoholic in the house, no ambien, no melatonin. I finally found an old bottle of an OTC sleep aid. Still took three hours to get to sleep though.

Go to a store and grab some and maybe some sleepytime tea with honey, then run yourself a warm bath to relax and put on some soothing music. You should be resting in no time. NO TV's in the bedroom.
This thread sounds like a meeting of NAA.
If your life depends upon a buffet of drugs and pills do you think you might just have a bit of a problem?
you call 1/2 of an ambien a problem? haven't even had any of them in over a month. Melatonin works just fine for me - just ran out and didn't have any money to buy more until today.
My only problem is sleeping.... haven't been a good sleeper since I had my first baby. I can hear my cat walk across the carpet for goodness sakes. My husband snores like he's moving furniture. I can hear the clock tick, the refrigerator cycle in and out, the airconditioner come on and off and my kids roll over in their beds.
Only medication I take currently is for blood pressure....and that's a family heredity thing.
Oh and by the way...if I was sleeping soundly right now ... then I'd really have a problem. Daughter ran away two weeks ago....took her out of state for residential therapy a week ago today... finances are in the toilet.... I think that it's actually pretty normal that I'm not sleeping so well right now.
