I agree with Bruce.
If your not use to taking anything then maybe even Goody om powders will work. If not try ambien by script only. Diazepan generic for valium is good too. Just tell your Dr. you cant relax for worrying about your studies and that should work.
ambien,,
it works wonders..
any over the counter sleep aid may have side effects. some people on ambion drove in their sleep and didnt know it. try vitamins instead. i use melatonin. it brings you to rem state quicker and is all natural.
See your doctor!!! Sleeping pills are very dangerous, as most can be addicting. Even Ambien, which is promoted to be “non-narcotic,” *can* be addicting! Just schedule an appointment with your doc and tell them your concerns. If it’s something that isn’t ongoing and chronic, you may be able to take something OTC, like Tylenol Simply Sleep. But if it’s a pill you’ll be using long-term, see your physician.
Remember meditation? That is the only way you can solve that problem with out drugs. look in to that… Count from 100 backwards… Really, then your mind stops worrying.
Have you considered Soma (carisoprodol)? It’s not addictive but requires a prescription. Soma is usually prescribed to ease muscular strain. It forms the metabolite meprobamate in your body, which is a tranquilizer. Essentially, you are getting double-duty from this med. It’s a great sleep aid. BTW, it is not considered a Controlled Substance in most states.
I take restoril, they are addictive, but I think you need sleep more than anything except food & water. They are $ 15 a month and do not have a morning after effect. You wake up after 6 to 8 hours and feel great. You take one a night, don’t share with friend that have your problem. That way you don’t develop a problem with them.
Ambien works well – We issue it to our Swat Team members on extended call outs. Also alot of the Special Forces use it….
Lunesta, a prescription sleep medication, works very well; you take it and go to bed, and the next thing you know, it’s morning. It doesn’t make you drowsy during the day if you go to bed at a reasonable hour. It’s important to go to bed immediately after taking it, because people who don’t sometimes do things they don’t remember the next day like eating or even driving. The greatest thing about it is that you don’t build up a tolerance to it, and it’s not addicting.
Personally, I like Tranxene. If I need it I take what I believe to be an appropriate dose. I can wake up with it for the BR and go right back to sleep. Stay away from OTC meds containing diphenhydramine. They interfere with memory and do not give a restful sleep.
My simple answer is—-a powerful antihistamine such as Atarax/Vystoril, Dramamine, Melatonin (usually doesn’t work), a supplement called Inositol, or an antidepressant with sedative side effects such as Remeron. Remeron has an antihistamine built into it and I had insomnia since I was 14 (I am 21) but the Remeron puts me out cold.
I have to disagree with the above poster. While a benzodiazepine will put your brain out cold, your sleep quality is actually disrupted, so you only THINK you’re receiving a better quality of sleep….but you’re not. In fact, after longterm use of Tranxene and other benzodiazepines, you actually develop insomnia and poor sleep quality.
Now for the important advice: Take anything but a benzodiazepine (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, Sorax, Librium, Versed, Tranxene), as those can be dangerous to become physically dependent upon ( I’m talking seizures and psychosis are possible if you stop taking these drugs abruptly and it usually takes several months to taper off of them and it’s very uncomfortable).
Also, “Z” drugs such as Ambien, Lunesta, Ambien CRand similar drugs work on the same receptor sites as Benzodiazepines and they are just as addictive and harmful if taken for longer than a few days in a row.
you may think the idea of being dependent on such drugs wouldn’t bother you as long as you get your sleep – hate to say it, but, your body becomes tolerant to their effects within a few months and then you’ll have to keep increasing your dosage until you reach a point where your body doesn’t even acknowledge the drug and you can experience a phenomneon known as “tolerance withdrawal,” which can be just as bad as good old generic withdrawal. A Rehabilitation center por hospital will not help with a Benzodiazepine dependency/addicition because they do not understand the nature of benzodiazpines. New research indicates that benzodiazepines and similar “Z” drugs should be tapered off over a period of months, otherwise you risk seizures, psychosis, delerium tremens, and protracted withdrawal symptoms that can leave you crippled for months or years. I’m not trying to scare anyone here but I’ve experienced these things firsthand, and a rehabilitation center/hospital will have you off the drugs in days, not months or years.
Hope this helps,

Melatonin tablets can help you sleep, however they can also encourage really weird/vivid dreams. If you tend to have nightmares you might want to keep away from this one.
I have a lot of trouble sleeping so I usually take a Benadryl or equivalent knockoff. I asked my doctor about it and she said it won’t do you any long term damage (as long as you don’t go nuts with it) since all it does is dry you up a little. 2 tablets should put your lights out. You’ll be inclined to sleep a bit later the next morning, but it doesn’t make you retarded all day like some pills do. Good luck!
