Thread: Best sleep aids for price

Advil pm with a shot of jack!

FD&C blue no. 2 is in Kirkland and Advil. I wonder if that is what makes it effective. I hope I don't become dependent on these though.

Bourbon and bud. I've had trouble sleeping ever since I got clean and sober, and that was well over a decade ago. Nothing really works for me except drugs and alcohol (RX meds included).

Per price value, indica, og kush.

I don't think the FD&C blue has anything to do with it. The active ingredient in Kirkland is doxylamine succinate and that is an antihistamine. Just about any antihistamine has anticholinergic effects, i.e. makes you sleepy. Benadryl will have about the same effect, and neither of those should be addictive.

What is the active ingredient in Somadrol?
I found a Somadril online, but I don't think it's even available in the US.

I would stick with the kirkland or benadryl. Or rum.

It did give me vivid dreams. I think the 5-HTP will help with gains. I also woke up feeling way more alert. In terms of making me fall alseep, it's not that great.

Doxylamine Succinate is IMHO far superior to Benadryl. Benadryl is a 1st generation antihistamine and has been off-labeled used as a sedative. Doxylamine Succinate, if I remember correctly, was created as a stronger antihistamine, but it's main action is a sedative. Im surprised it's still available OTC. The Anticholinergic properties can cause the "dry-out" effect, but DAMN do they put you to sleep.

I can take 2-3 Benys on an empty stomach and it won't do crap. Take one small Doxy and I am out for a solid 10-12 hours.

Ya^. I took 25mg of Dox. Suc. last night and I got knocked out.

I stick with weed as mentioned above, but you can try melatonin. It is supposed to help with sleep and it's really cheap. I take it before bed but im also high so I couldn't tell you if it works lol.

Melatonin & Gaba.

plus magnesium and L-dopa can all help with sleep.

Ambien. You will sleep like a rock. Been on it for 10 years and it works great. Just tell you Dr. you can't fall asleep but once your asleep your okay and he will prescribe. if you just say that you have a hard time sleeping the Dr. will want a sleep study. It's only a problem to fall asleep (I stare at the ceiling for hours) is the key.

Doesn't work well if you have had heavy past drug use. As someone said earlier. My buddy can take a handful and makes not difference.

I like melatonin, 5-HTP, Gaba, they all work well. Personally nothing was as good as EndoSurge 3-4 pre-bed with 5-10 mgs of melatonin as a chaser. Not only are you goign to sleep very deep and dream, you will wake up recovered. It is truly a versatile product past just an awesome test booster.

melatonin is a couple bucks and have really helped me fall asleep. but, it doesn't have the effect on everybody. The good thing is, you always have a couple bucks to see if something works...

1/2 bottle of nyquil will do the trick!

i guess they are all about the same when it comes to over the counter. my concern is once you get dependent on them your screwed. unless you dont mind popping them every night for rest of life

^ Yes I would be worried about dependency also.

aaaahhhh

Try melatonin it works!!

Try ketotefin... Use it religiously and it works like a champ..

Took a bar last night and slept until 11 today. Whoop!

whats a bar. I have been sleeping like ass this last week. A lot had to do with stresses from a large mid term in my class. Wouldnt mind something safe to use once a week just to play catch up on sleep.
