got sleep?

[singha]

Day 2 after  2 and a half week taper....I got some sleep last night after someone suggested taking benadryl instead of tylenol pm but I feel soooo hungover today. Does anyone else get this ?

[sosad5306]

Benadryl is the same as the ingriedient in Tylenol PM.  It is the ingredient responsible for drying up a runny nose and makes you sleepy.  Have you ever taken tylenol pm and felt the same way?  
When I take tylenol pm I feel like it stays with me all day the next day and I feel a sort of "hangover" as well!

I don't know why I feel so awful maybe because it is only day 2 and I expect to feel better than yesterday not worse.

It may be helpful to try an OTC sleep aid if you need help sleeping b/c they are designed to last for about 7-8 hours and keep you from feeling groggy!  Just make sure you have 7-8 hours to devote to sleep.  For example, if you have to be up at 8 am, don't take it past midnight.

[Sick to Death]

What sosad is true, you have to allow at least 8 hours from the time you take it.  And what probably happened with you and the benadryl was the strength.  Check the strength on the tylenol pm and check the strength on your benadryl caps.  Make sure you are not taking more benadryl if you are taking straight benadryl.
Good luck, Sick day 6 c/t

Yeah, Xanax makes me feel the same way.  I don't like the way it makes me feel the next day... BUT WOW  YOU ARE DOIN' AWESOME SINGHA... I"M SO PROUDDDDDD OF YOUUUUU!!!!  You try to have a good day, k?  Get outside.. I don't know where you are at but wow it's beautiful here in florida.  Luvs ya, Lil.

Thank you all I have been getting outside but only been 30 degrees here so it's not very enjoyable. I think I'll try unisom tonite.

[lil_rab2005]

Yikes, even when it was 80 degrees in the house I was freezin.  I feel so bad for you.  lol.  Curl up with a comforter and read a good book.  I'm here for you on and off today if you need me sweetie, Luvs ya, Lil.

Have you ever tried melatonon My son has a sleep disorder and it really helped him they use it for jet lag too natural no drugs.

[singha]

melatonin has never worked for me unfortunately. I have had rls most of my adult life so right now it just sees to magnified I'm gonna do this though and lack of sleep is not going to stop me. If I can do this with pills still left in the bottle then I guess it really is time.
