About to leave for cruise and forgot my ambian. Ole lady snores so I take 5 mg ambian to get into deep sleep and not be woken up by her.

Anyone ever taken 100 mg of benedryl as sleep aid? The package dose is 50 mg, but some online forums suggest 100 mg generates deep sleep kinda like Ambian.

Snorers are the worst

Smother her with a pillow

Midnite is a sleep aid I use. You can get it from Walmart, Walgreens and other places. Inexpensive

It helps. Same thing that’s In NyQuil that makes you sleepy.

That combo’d with melatonin will help you get to sleep. But neither are habit forming.

Smoke a bowl. Nice, relaxing, deep sleep.

shite Walt! That shite takes 3 hours to kick in? No wonder it’s called midnite

Edit 2. Wait.... unless that means your arse is gonna sleep at least 3 hours.

I'll give you a good alt. No BS. At Walmart they have a 12 pack of diphenhydramene under the name Quality Plus. .88 cents. 50mg, which isn't way too much or not enough. If you've had a few pops, it will knock you out and still let you wake up the next day.

Yes, this is the active ingredient in benedryl and OTC sleep aides that makes you sleepy. The package says a dose is 50mg. I wondering if anyone has ever increased the regular dose to maximize sleep benefit and if there were any side effects?

The more booze and the more mg, the more sleep but feellikeshitznextday. Groggy. Hit your drinks and 50 mg. Vacation solved.

I take 2 generic benedryk pllls. Which I believe is 50mg.

I’ve found taking more doesn’t help me. It’s actually counter productive. If I take more I tend to twitch like Chris Jackson did back in Econ class.

But that’s just me. I’ve always been sensitive to benedryl side effects. As long as I stay with recommended dosage I’m good.

Agree. Too much melatonin for ex keeps me wide awake.

I’ve tried them all.

Lunesta — made everything hace a strong garlic flavor. — weird, weird side effect.

Ambien —- I would sleep eat. I always brush my teeth b4 bed. Nothing worse than waking up with a 1/2 eaten pack of Oreos and empty Doritos package.

Restoril — woke up with a bad case of the dumbass. I’d drink a pot of coffee b4 my shower.

No side effects w/ benedryl melatonin cocktail.

100 mg of benadryl is a pretty fat dose.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll stay with 50 mg and just drink like I’m 18 again
