Anyone got any information on potential highs with OTC sleeping pills? Preferably with what to avoid chemical wise and what to look for. This isn't for me, so I really don't want to give someone else bad advice ( Read more... )

I go to a campus doctor and they're much more willing to give out any Rx to get you out of their office. T3 for a toothache? I used to be on ambien for sleep but switched to xanax.

It's necessary to keep track of your pills and ask for a refill at the right time so they don't suspect you of abuse. If they give you 10 and say it should last 10 weeks it should last 10 weeks. People who use sleep meds daily are more likely to be taken OFF of them and referred to a sleep clinic for therapy. As my doctor said "the people who can never sleep are the people who don't need sleep meds." It's also good to say that you have tried adjusting your behavior patterns (only using the bed for sleep or sex, not going on the computer for an hour before bed, keeping the lights low before bed, going to sleep and/or waking up at the same time, etc) but "some nights nothing will work.
