where can a person get sleeping pills? do u have tp have a perscription for them?

Answer 1

You can get them over the counter. No prescription needed (you may need to be 18 to purchase them though).

Answer 2

Well, you need a prescription for sleeping pills such as Ambien or Lunesta. But you can buy things like Tylenol PM, if you also have aches and pains at night, over the counter. Or you can find Natural sleep aides, like Melatonin, or Valerian at GNC stores, as well as other large chains like Meijers, Kmart, etc.

It's important to know the affects of some of the natural ones though. Melatonin does not accumulate in the body, like Valerian does. But they are both more potent than A Tylenol or pain med with night time aides in them.

Most doctors will write a script for you, without having to make an appointment, if you just call and explain you are having a bout of insomnia. But, you will only get 10 - 14 days on the script of any addictive drug, without further appointments.

Answer 3

I understand needing to sleep - they all require at least 8 hours of sleep possible to prevent things like falling asleep while driving (it has happened)
Valerian root and/or lavender
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 4

You can by over the counter sleep aid pills at any drug, grocery, or discount store. Unisom and Tylenol PM are two of the more popular OTC sleep aid drugs. There are also prescription sleeping pills such as Lunesta. For something like that you would need to talk to your doctor and get a prescription.

Answer 5

Melatonin is a natural sleep aid, and you will have wonderful colorful dreams. I like the type that you put under your tongue and they dissolve. Get the highest dose-age available and only take what is the approiate dose-age marked on the bottle. I think that I purchased mine from a vitamin/herb shop. The ones that they sell at Wal-Mart you take with something to drink, I let the pharmacist talk me into purchasing the low dose-age ones, now I have two bottles of them and I don't particularly like them. I could probably double up on them, but I had my doctor prescribe me something. To bad you don't live close by, I would give them to you.

Answer 6

i'm afraid there ain't such an animal as a solid snoozing pill. common they are in fact a catastrophe, it takes purely 3 consecutive nights taking snoozing pills to get withdrawal indicators on the 4th night. long term use on general consequences in the affected person attending to sleep 20 minutes quicker and snoozing purely 30 minutes longer than they did pre-drugs. additionally needless to say in the event that they attempt to sleep without them, issues are lots worse than pre-drugs. The mere act of taking an lively snoozing pill is an unwise one as they are actual drugs of dependancy, pleasing the two the fundamental standards for this, tolerance and withdrawal.

Answer 7

Benedryl, Tylenol Pm, and Nyquil are great OTC drugs that help with sleep. However, you might want to consider why you are not sleeping. If it is due to stress, try some relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and mind tricks. If is medication related, try talking to your doctor about changing your meds. Also, try to limit your caffeine intake before bed.

Answer 8

Some are over the counter...the stronder ones a prescription. Try some melatonin 3mg or tylenol PM before getting a prescription.

Answer 9

There is a sleeping pill called Unisom, you can buy it at any Walgreen's or CVS, they really work and they are only like $10.

Sweet Dreams!!

Answer 10
