I have been taking sleeping pills for about 3 years almost daily.
The ingredients are Diphenhydramine. Hydrochloride. I take 50mg a day occasionally twice that much. Up to now no side effects but now I am having shouting and screaming fits almost daily. My partner insists this is stress but could the pills have anything to do with it?

What would happen if i crushed sleeping pills in monster and drank it? The only reason I haven’t tried it is because I’m afraid that I’ll put myself into shock or something

Lately it has been getting harder to fall alseep, even with over-the-counter sleeping pills. Any suggestions?

Hate not sleeping. My fiance is in VA. and I live in the country. I am not scared of being by myself, I just plain old cant sleep!!!! someone out there must know something!!
Thanx, Lauren
Everyone has given excellent answers so I dont know how to rate the best one. I think I will let others pick, but i have to say, what works best so far, is from the lady whose fiance is in GA. - turn on the tv in bed and relax my mind. I am aware of valerian root, etc., and every answer is great. thanx all, lets see what other people think too! I just can’t pick the best answer. All of you have been wonderful!! Thanx again, Lauren

I just started school and over the summer i got used to staying up late.
What are some ways to help make me sleepy without taking sleeping pills?

[Please be nice]

I’ve heard that there are actually some individuals who are addicted to sleeping pills, like Ambien. How could this be? Wouldn’t sleeping pills just put a person to sleep?

Because of stress, I take 2 tablets of prescribed sleeping pills at night before going to bed. Do sleeping pills have long term side effects and health hazards?

How does sleeping pills helps a person to his death?
What are the main effects that causes death ?

or do the feel any pain ?
help me to complete my college project !

I have been addicted to sleeping pills for a while (probably years.) They are over the counter. I take them only at night to sleep…it’s not like they are disturbing my life in any way.

I actually don’t know if I am addicted because I have not tried to fall asleep without them and once recently I actually fell asleep without them and slept through the night. I just love the sleep I get using them and hate "trying" to fall asleep. I could sit up all night easily without them. With them I just fall into sleep and I love that.

What is the big deal? This is my secret shame, because I know the idea of addiction is negative, but is this something to be concerned about.

I have been very tired lately (more than usual) and the only way I can sleep is with my sleeping pills. I want to know how people get extra sleep without the sleeping pills, if they cannot fall asleep or stay asleep on their own.
