I haven’t slept in days and these are available without a prescription- but do they actually work?

Getting desperate....

They didn't work for me, just left a nasty aftertaste

IHeartMaryLennox · 01/05/2018 20:02

No.

MeanTangerine · 01/05/2018 20:03

Works for me. You need to take them about an hour before you go to sleep. A good amount of time in which to have a bath.

specialsubject · 01/05/2018 20:07

the one you have to ask the pharmaci st for does, the on the shelf one is useless.

have you seen a doctor?

I bought Nytol from over the counter but it was non-herbal I think and it worked really well, I was impressed!

IHeartMaryLennox · 01/05/2018 20:09

Night nurse on the other hand....

YourVagesty · 01/05/2018 20:11

Worked unexpectedly well for me. I was very cynical and got into bed thinking 'this is never going to work'. And the next thing it was morning!

CarpeVitam · 01/05/2018 20:14

The herbal one doesn't work for me but the regular One a Night is pretty good

Night Nurse however is the business! Wink - not to be used regularly though

mayhew · 01/05/2018 20:14

No. Just buy the proper 50mg tabs!

Spam88 · 01/05/2018 20:15

They made me so hyper I was trying to put toothpaste on the walls 😬 they must work for some people though. There are lots of proper sleeping tablets you can get from a pharmacy without a prescription though.

fredabear · 01/05/2018 20:19

Work for me, as do the much cheaper superdrug equivalent

crimsonlake · 01/05/2018 20:21

Initially worked for me, but now do nothing at all. You could try nightnurse now that knocks you out.

TacoFlavouredKisses · 01/05/2018 20:25

The herbals do nothing for me - get the one-a-night jobbies and prepare to be thoroughly knocked out (the Boots equivalent are exactly the same thing and a little cheaper!).

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 01/05/2018 20:26

Night Nurse works

Or get online Sad

Lulusmother · 01/05/2018 20:31

Sominex; buy over the counter. They're really good 💤

MoistCantaloupe · 01/05/2018 20:31

They worked for me, but I took four.
I hate the regular ones, they don't always work and leave me with a hang over. Herbal feel fresh in the morning.

CatWhisker · 01/05/2018 20:32

The herbal ones no for me. The normal Nytol, yes

Beccascales · 28/09/2019 04:55

I struggle getting tonsleep and also busy mind when I wake early. These work for me everytime. Sometimes feel more tired for a bit but overall great. Use them on all my long haul flights now. I always take 2. Reading reviews I'm surprised to hear a lot of people font rate the.. I had one other drowsy antihistamine before ans it made me feel heavy ans hungover next day. These are a nice, and light, sleep aid.
