Nytol One-A-Night is a clinically proven sleep aid that helps you drift off, sleep soundly and wake up refreshed after a full nights sleep.
Used to relieve temporary sleeplessness. Hi Ethan, I tried Nytol for 3 nights in a row. Night one and two, out like a light. But, by night 3 I seemed to have built up a resistance.
The worst side of them for me has been strong feelings of anxiety even depression , tingling and numbness in my right leg and a lot of grogginess the next day. Best, Jenny. Hi Jenny Thanks for your comment. Prescription sleeping tablets make me alert and give me a bad headache, herbal remedies do nothing for me except one that knock me out and made me feel really groggy and sluggish the next day. Hi Trish Thanks for sharing your experience.
And when it comes to sleep aids like this, the general advice is to try not to become dependent on them and to not take them endlessly — unless a doctor recommends it. Personally, I try never to go over a week of taking an over the counter sleep aid, and just use them from time to time to get through a bad patch if nothing else seems to be helping. I also felt very anxious which is not like me at all. Hi Gina Thanks for sharing your experience. Lorazepam is the answer for me.
It guarantees me 8 hours sleep, and I wake up feeling refreshed with no side effects. My insomnia issue was waking up in the middle of the night, unable to get back to sleep — I rarely have trouble falling asleep. Lorazepam works either way; you gradually feel dopier and dopier after 30 or 40 minutes of taking it.
I used to use various OTC meds with diphenhydramine hydrochloride, but they often made my body feel…weird. Like a crawly feeling in my veins. And the fuzzy head the next day. Lorazepam is prescription only, and a controlled substance here in North America.
My doc prescribes 20 pills at a time, and that tends to last me around 6 months. I also tried chewable gummies with CBD, the active component of cannabis which is perfectly legal here, that also helped, but they tend to be pricy unless your medical insurance covers it. Hi Cath Thanks for your comment. What you say makes sense to me. I tried it several times and had no real effect on my sleep! Hi Ethan. Thanks for reviewing this. I would rather feel plain tired than feel like this.
I took a 50mg when I woke at 1. Not pleasant! I think the next day side effects outweighs the sleep I might get. Hi Eloise Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, the anti-histamine based sleep aids can cause problems like this, more for some people than others.
I take Nytol one a night 50mg on a regular basis. I had been taking sleeping tablets for months and just found they were to strong. The problem I have is I am now taking Nytol every night to ensure a restful sound sleep, this is all down to stress, what if any are the side effects of regular use of Nytol? Hi Maz Thanks for your comment. I treat myself to half a Nytol at the week-end and it certainly helps me go back to sleep when I wake when this happens I take advantage of popping to the loo just in case a full bladder wakes me later and therefore I am able to sleep for longer which is a wonderful treat!
I am mindful not to take them too regularly. Personally, I have generalized anxiety disorder, which affects my sleep sometimes for a long period of time. On top of this, I work between nights and days, swapping every two weeks by 12 hours.
I have tried nytol, and found my tolerance builds up so fast by the third dose there is no effect. It does seem to work for the first two nights, but it also seems to exacerbate my anxiety the next day.
Recently I have tried Sominex which has promethazine hydrochloride as the active ingredient. But the tolerance issues still persist. I think it is worth noting, as some comments suggest very long term use, that these are addictive and cause more issues than they solve if you habitually take them :. Hi Gareth Thanks for your comment. I also find tolerance builds with most of these type of over the counter sleep aids.
Either way, long-term use is best avoided for any sleeping pill in my opinion. I started taking nytol about a year ago because I quit drinking alcohol completely.
I was severely addicted, heavy alcoholic and smoking weed. Yes I quit drinking but I gained a severe addiction to nytol — I take 40 pills on a good day every night or ish on others, ratio 5 — 2 5 good to 2 bad. I loathe the feeling that I am so addicted to something or another.
I bought Phenergan for a change as its annoying to be refused sale by all local pharmacies. I need to know some successful quitting methods or stories without Getting Additional or Different addictions.
Hi Evelina Thank you for sharing your story. Well done for quitting alcohol and smoking weed. I can understand your worry about taking that many Nytol though — you are taking way more than necessary, and putting yourself at risk.
