Seem to have worked. By the time I got to bed I could barely walk so maybe last night I would have slept anyway! Will try them again tonight and then try a night without them. Don't want to get dependent.

I would love a good nights sleep but Doctor told me not to take anything as she was concerned my breathing would go too shallow.

Glad they worked for you.

take care

Yes that could be a problem. Have taken some and they seem to cause me to gulp for air on times but those were the prescription ones. Took them last night and they were just great. No hangover this morning. Taking a night off them tonight to see how I fair.

Took them again last night and no hangover this morning. They are called "Sleep Aid" and I either bought them in Savers chemists or Super drug. Think it was Savers. About 2.99 for 60 tablets and you take 2

I've found boots sleepeaze helpful. Or nytol but I think they have to be the blue nytol. tesco also do their own. Basically if they contain diphenhydramine hydrochloride then they're reasonably good IN THE SHORT TERM. I haven't had breathing problems with them even though my doctor doesn't like me to take prescription sleeping tablets because of suppressing breathing.

Yes they can cause breathing problems and can make your mouth dry too. Had no problems with these herbal ones called "Sleep Aid". Think I either bought them in Savers chemist or Superdrug.

Personally I think drs are far too cautious about this. Unless your lung function is severely depressed, my two pharmacist friends, one of whom is head at a large hospital, say it's fine. Going without sleep on a regular basis isn't very good for you, affects your resistance to infection. My gp who I trust absolutely is happy to prescribe zopiclone 7.5mg occasionally. He knows I just take it for 3-5 days to re-establish my sleeping pattern. He even said it was fine to take 2 at a time, though I never have.

[frose in reply to Hidden]

Tend to agree! I think my current GP keeps the zopiclone firmly locked in a private vault 😁

[Hidden in reply to frose]

My pharmacist friend says Phenergan is useful short-term and you can buy it over the counter. I told the chemist my consultant had recommended (which he did at one point) it and he was happy to sell it to me

[frose in reply to Hidden]

Oh, well worth knowing - thanks! I'll get some!

I had no benefit from Nytol so followed a HU recommendation for Sominex which is also OTC. Very very effective tho I was unprepared for the hangover the next morning!!

[freefaller]

I took sleep aid which is also herbal. I think the hangover was more to do what having little sleep for the other two nights. Took it last night and I am fine this morning. Herbal tends not to give you the hangover. So far it works.
