Sleeping Pills Effect
-
Hi , has anyone taken sleeping pills before?
I just want to know whether are there any harmful side effects when taking those pills?
And will i really be sleeping when i took those pills? As in will be so strong such that I will confirmed be in a deep sleep and not easily awaken? -
u need a prescription from doctor to get sleeping pills..
and to find out whether u really need sleeping pills, consult a doctor first and find out more about those pills. -
I find listening to slow music a better sleep inducer. No side effects too.

-.- i need caffine..

Someone told me anti-hystamine pills is good to make you drowsy.
Don't take my word for it though. -
Firstly, you have met the right person.
First let me introduce myself.
My name is Dr. Meat Pao. I am a Certified Sleep Analyst (CSA). I also have an advanced degree in Sleep Disorder Treatment (SDT) from the renowned Sleep International University.
Now,
Prescription sleeping pills are strong and are meant to be given only for a short period of time, usually not more than 1-2 weeks at a time. These are strong and can give you dependancy if you continue to take them for longer periods.
Conversely there are Over The Counter sleeping pills which you can buy freely made from herbs or hormones. These are not as stong, and not as consistent, meaning sometimes they work, sometimes they dont really work, but they are milder and less likely to develop dependancy.
You should ask yourself why you are having trouble sleeping. If you are stressed, you need to address your underlying stress issue. Any sleeping pills or OTC sleeping herbs should be used only as a temporary solution.
I recommend excercise, healthy diet, and healthy emotional well-being, as your ultimate solution.
Should you need further consultation, please dont hesitate to contact my office again.
Thank you.
Dr. Meat Pao.

Stilnox is good. It will knock you off within 5 mins, but it only last for 4 - 6 hours. So if you have other problem leading to your insomnia, you will automatically wake up from your sleep as soon as the effect wears off. But you will feel sleepy in the morning (hangover)Originally posted by wahomy:Hi , has anyone taken sleeping pills before?

But hor... cannot take for too many days one. Your body will develop dependency on this to doze off. I took this before and my family saw me sleepwalking
This medication is only prescribed by specialists. Normal GP will prescribe other kind of sleeping pills: zopiclone, diazepam (Valium®) etc.
Last time I ever took this medication from a GP that is not addictive at all, and was very good if sleeplessness is due to stress and anxiety. It's called Lormetazepam. I used to get panic attack and palpitation due to work stress. This medication actually calms me down (ie. slows down my heartbeat) without side effect. But now I moved out of the neighbourhood and stop going to this GP. So I could only get zopiclone and diazepam as and when I need it.
Zopiclone gives me dry mouth in the morning and hangover while diazepam doesn't seem to work for me
In any case, if you have the time, go for a very good massage and pamper yourself. It's a better and healthier way to get a good sleep.
I just went to a TCM to do "cupping" and that night I slept so well.
Ear candling also helps too. Try the one at south bridge road's Kenko. Atmosphere very relaxing. Go for a good massage or ear candling etc, and then go home.
Sleeping pills are only for very desperate case and busy ppl who have no time to relax.
