Well, I admit I didnt read through every post here... But sleeping pills are my 'speciality'. OTC stuff is all shit... Whether it is Tylenol PM, allergy med, or whatever, if it is OTC it is just an antihistamine (diphenhydramine hydrochloride)... Ok to-a-point.

I prefer benzos... Xanax is my fav but I also buy Versed online (most powerful benzo that is usually used as an IV sedative before surgery but can be bought in pill form). Anti-psychotics can also do the trick but they can be pricey and a lot of them react to a lot of other drugs (dont want to mix em with the wrong shit).

The thing to be aware of with any med is tolerance. That is why I alternate between Xanax (benzo), Versed (benzo), Seroquel (Anti-psychotic), and diphenhydramine hydrochloride based products OTC. Add a little ganja and alcohol and you're in for a great night sleep
