Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 sleeping pills help me incredibly, both natural and as part of medicine. Melatonin is a good thing you can find at a lot of stores. it takes the edge off. walgreens/grocery store pills that say they endorse sleep can help as well.personally, i tend to use a lot of Advil PM, which I'm not sure is recommended over the long haul, but I do it anyway.a lot of it is mental. tell yourself that you're taking these pills and they are designed to get you to sleep and that is what they're going to do. if you believe what you're doing is going to be good for you, then it has a better chance at being true.From: frosty0girl016 Subject: Sleeping Pills?To: Soundsensitivity Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 2:44 AM Hey guys, I've just moved into a new dorm building for this school year. Luckily, I was able to score a single room so I don't have to worry about a roommate making trigger sounds. However, adjusting to the new living space has been really difficult. My air conditioning unit is driving me up the wall, and my shower head drips. Not only that, but my room is right next to the elevator and I think the weird noises I keep hearing through the wall are coming from it. I've tried sleeping with pillows over my head and earplugs, but it's this strange sort of resonating, vibrating sound and coving my ears isn't working. I've only been living in this room for a few days, but I've hardly slept at all and I'm really stressed out whenever I'm in here. It takes hours for me to become exhausted enough to just pass out, because I can't get to sleep when I'm hearing these noises. I don't want to move out; it's the brand new dorm building on campus and I have my own bathroom and no roommate. It's far too nice of a room to give up. But oh God, the sounds are driving me insane. So my question is, would sleeping pills help? I don't take any sort of medication, and I'm worried about starting. Has anyone here ever used just your basic Walgreens sleeping pills in this sort of situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Oh, do try fans, noisy air cleaner, earplugs, valerian (an herb), or anything BUT sleeping pills. And with everything, in time you usually adjust to it. Usually takes about 30 days to adjust to a new environment. Hang in there! Sleeping Pills?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Before I was put on Seroquel, I used basic store brand pills. They work, but the only problem is people can build a resistance to 'em. If you really need 'em, use 'em up to the point you need two pills instead of one, and then see a doctor if you're still not getting enough sleep.Just DON'T ask for Seroquel; it's an anti-psychotic as well as a histamine blocker, and it's bound to mess you up if you don't have a history of depression or bipolar disorder.= M-F.>So my question is, would sleeping pills help?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Melatonin is good and safe, typically 3mg is plenty and even wal mart carries it. One side effect is detail night mares. (I know). but for me those are far and few between.sleeping pills help me incredibly, both natural and as part of medicine.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've tried sleeping pills once and felt like a zombie the whole next day. I use an air purifier, fan and a cd of nature sounds to mask annoying noise. Try that first before resorting to meds. > > Hey guys, > > I've just moved into a new dorm building for this school year.
