Phenergan 25mg is pretty good. It's cheaper than Nytol or Sominex. You can get vivid dreams though, which are disconcerting.

You can't buy phenergan any more.

You can because I recently bought it. It’s been delivered today but my dad also dropped off nytol and now I don’t know which one to take

You can buy it from an online pharmacist like chemists for you.

Phenergan 100 x over.

We can get it on shelves where we are - if I need to sleep and melatonin isn't doing the trick (which rarely happens), I'll use phenergan Pm.

The only thing that'll knock me out but doesn't leave me drowsy the next day.

NyQuil makes me groggy AF but have never had that with Phenergan.

Good luck!

Yes you can buy Phenergan, from a pharmacist in the UK.
The dispenser may question what it's for as it's not to be used regularly, but I've used it successfully on and off for sleep problems. It's also used as an anti-histamine for hay fever etc.

Sominex is the best but either of the other two work for me. But I only take half a tablet. And only when I'm desperate and wake at the same time in the middle of the night for a few nights in a row.

Thejewellershands · 31/12/2023 15:09

Ah seems like Phenergan is better then, thanks all! I’m really hoping this works tonight

Promethazine and diphenhydramine are both first gen antihistamines. There's not much in it really but I believe diphenhydramine is stronger.

Phenergan can make some people hyperactive. It does me if I don't go to sleep as soon as I start to feel drowsy.

I haven't been able to find Sominex for ages. I use one a night Nytol but I think it's more of a psychological benefit now. Hope you get some sleep op.
