have insomnia time to time. dont wanna get on seroquel or nothin cuz it trips me out a bit

bought a 50 pak of phenergan a whiloe ago (promethazine)
works great took to the stated on the pak 25mg-75mg) & got really tired & got to sleep prety fast. ( way more effective to get to sleep than temazepam even if it does give ya a calm feeling.)
lookin for use of something to get to sleep not to get calm.
also curious about health concers/long term effects of sedating antihistamines.

was wondering what u ppl think is the most practical otc sleep pill if i wanna take something occcationaly for insomnia

wanna know about the sedation level, how bad the grogginess is in the morning if any.. etc. of the otc stuff.


i suppose the 3 main ones would be diphenhydramine, doxylamine, & promethazine.

only wanna choose the right one for occational use if ive got bad insomna
any opions
 
ive never heard of Alimenazine
do they sell that otc (dont mention tables that arnt otc)

i wanted a rating best to wrost with the ones ive mentions
so is Alimenazine better than promethazine
remember im not trying to get high or anythihg just want a practical sleeping pill for now & than

id just like to meention phenergan (promethazine) works great took the dose listedd on the pack 1-3 tables 25-75mg & it make me so tied that i got to sleep within half an hr

i want a rating best to worst with the sedating anithistamijes ppl have trieed along with comments of side effects etc

Morphine is technically OTC if you're in the UK :)

But seriously, doxylamine, diphenhydramine and then promethazine (if it is available OTC where you are, it is currently not available OTC in the US).
 
Antihistamines can be wierd. So can valerian. I have gotten paradoxical stimulation, like cracked out up all night shit from both.
Try a very low dose of melatonin or smoke some indica weed.
Sometimes the opiates keep me up to.
Trying to cure insomnia w/ drugs can be a messy experience!
 
bump
sorry to have to reopen
but want more responces need help with insomnia the otc shit pls preferences cons & pros
most sedating, how bad he hangover, how confertable the high is, how safe it is, how long its ok to use for. consiter all factors
