Moonlover Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hi folks. I'm seeking advice for an OTC sleeping med that I can use to get me through a 7 hour 'red eye' flight. I do not usually use meds of any sort, so I'm not familiar with any brands. And please don't bother with replies such as 'several whiskies''. I'm a none drinker flying on a 'dry airline'. Grateful for any advice or assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 OTC sleeping pills are hard to comeby and expensive when sold in local pharmacies, not to mention fake one, a cheap substitute would be antihistamine that easier to buy and put you to a nice sleep for a few hours...

AnnaBanana Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Melatonin works for me every time. Cheap from iHerb and other online sources - expensive in Thai pharmacies. Sweet dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheMook Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 25mg of Atarax - it's a strong antihistamine you can buy over the counter. If you want drugs ask for 10mg Valium at your local hospital or clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little yellow chlorophenamine tablets that I had also been given on an earlier visit for a runny nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Dimenhydrinate is available at almost every pharmacy, 10 for 10 baht. Take 2-3 about 30 minutes before takeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
