OTC meds. helped me sleep all nite .....gravol

Livingtodaylikeitsyourlast recommended gravol to me. I could not find that brand name so I talked to the phamacist and he said the active ingredient (dimenhydrinate) . So we found a generic one that makes you drowsy, some have a non drowsy formular. It's a motion sickness medicine. It worked like a charm, another 8 hours and I don't feel hungover this morning. I did take potassium with it. I haven't had natural sleep for years but always took a lot of soma at night and just passed out. It felt good to really sleep and I know I did because I had great dreams about a handsome man! Yes Im married but it was still a fun dream! Hope this helps someone else, thanks living!!!!!
Happy thanksgiving! Day 17 clean!!!!!!!!!

Hey there, we also just have to keep in mind that anything that alters your natural sleep patterns should NOT be used long term.  Although my doctor and the pharmacist explained that Gravol is really harmless, as addicts we really got to watch if we are abusing it. So if you find yourself taking more and more for it to work, it is not working...lololol.  During this healing process, we all need sleep, it rejuvenates the body and helps it heal and helps our brains get back to pre-drugs state, but just be careful....Sweet Dream.....lolololol

Yes it really does work. I am only talking 20mg. Of celexia now. That's my only script. No more pain pills or muscle relaxers, no cymbalta. Past 3 nights I slept between 7 and 8 hours each night. Feels so good to sleep again! And I wake up without that hungover drugged feeling!

Yes gravol always worked for me before I became addicted to pills.
I forgot about it. I used to take it nightly.
It is widely available in Canada and you can ask the pharmacist for the no name kind and get a lot more much cheaper.
It does work.
