Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
You can't get this sort of incredible poo poo over the counter in Europe and it breaks my heart. I'm currently suffering with a cold and I'd pay premium dollars to buy a bottle of some high quality over the counter benzos to knock me the gently caress out for the next 8 hours. Instead I'll sleep brokenly for about 6 hours waking up periodically to blow the pus and garbage out of my nose and throat.

There's no benadryl in Europe? Because that is the sleep ingredient and I believe it is a very common otc drug.

Apparently you can get it in the UK, but not Ireland. I have Uniflu which I guess contains antihistamines.

my favorite is having a flu and looking at the wall of loving flu products and trying to look at the text to see which ones have phelylephrine

phenylephrine might say 'decongestant' and used in place of pseudophedrine but it is 100% useless. that is not hyperbole it's never been proven to be better than placebo in clinical trials

but they still hock that poo poo at you for $8 a blister pack even though it won't do poo poo. hey, you can't make meth out of it :grin:

Are you in the US? I was under the impression that they can't sell pseudophedrine otc anywhere, every time I have bought it in I have to talk to the pharmacist and sign a sheet of paper, lol. So when I look at the giant wall of products, I just look for the ones that have little cards instead of boxes, that's the good poo poo!

anyone mind posting how often they can take benadryl before they become immune to it? i used it as a sleep aid for a week and by like day 6 i wasn't sleeping

seems like for it to be effective you can use it maybe 3-4 times a month

It worked very well for me as a teenager and now I'm pretty sure it's 100% placebo. I don't take it often, it's just junk.

i think 25-50 mg really is an effective sleep aid, you just cannot take antihistamines often

if your life is not totally poo poo, and you only have 2-3 nights a week you absolutely cannot sleep, 1 night of smoking or a couple drinks, 1 night of benadryl, and 1 night of a script might be a safe way to do it but i dont know

a lot of doctors will openly admit the richest man alive cannot buy sleep, the better the sleeping pills the bigger the risk, long term benzos give people loving dementia not to mention guaranteed depression, massive addiction, all the safe options build up a tolerance quickly

Its highly erratic and frankly not a great sleep aid. Tolerance builds very quickly (plenty take it every day during the day for allergies).

Unfortunately all sleep aids eventually stop working so well, but there are many that are highly consistent. However they are prescription and/or deadly and/or harmful to day to day life. Some are actually better for you than benadryl too though.

My reccomendation after literally a lifetime of insomnia is get a script for Ambien. Use as needed. The long term side effects are essentially nil (particularly compared with most other things ) as well if that's in the cards. Its not for everybody, but if you're capable of taking a pill to sleep and actually going directly to bed you won't do stupid poo poo like run naked through a Wal Mart or whatever.

Anything "stronger" than that has bad side effects and anything not prescription has a buttload of other issues. Weed is the most obvious answer for a lot of people but , eh, I can't smoke weed every night to sleep and expect to be 100% the next day.

Benadryl seems to work for me every night, it kicks in after about 45 minutes and I feel the same way every time, heavy and tingly. I've forgotten it a few times and wondered why the hell I wasn't falling asleep before realizing, so I don't think it is a placebo, maybe I'm just extra sensitive to it.

i worry about ambien only because though it's technically not a benzo, it still works via GABA receptors and they actually use the same drug to save you if you OD on ambien as they do for any benzo overdose, so if i had to guess without enough data to actually prove it: it still probably long term makes people depressed, makes it so your REM sleep suffers, and leads to dementia. just an educated guess though. i am curious how well ambien would work for sleep or anxiety for someone already super tolerant to benzos though

In my experience its NOTHING like benzos in terms of negative short or long term effects. You can take Ambien every night for 6 months and stop immediately and not have a single withdrawal symptom outside of mentally worrying about sleeping.

I can't take benzos for more than a week before I actually feel the need for it.

It is a real, powerful medication for sure so some will be affected differently, but I've been on it for years. For example, I haven't taken it for a few days now after at least 2 months straight and haven't cared one bit. I'm not on any other medication however, don't know how it mixes with other drugs.

You do build tolerance, but frankly it is always effective even if you don't feel it anymore.
