she now gives me Alprazolam

I've taken Alprazolam (aka Xanax) in past. It gave me some weird dreams 75% of the times that I used it. That stopped me off from asking for more.

It was a small packet of eight pills which cost 80Bt from my local doctor

10 baht per pill? I'd be extremely suspicious even though it came from the Doctor.  (But who's your Doc? I'd like to get some Lorazepam (aka: Travan, Antivan) that cheap). 😂👍

Why not try hydroxazine?

Hydroxyzine has a longer half life,  about 20 hours so it's more likely to give you a hangover effect the next day.   Benadryl (diphenhydramine--has a shorter half life , about 7-10 hours,  so does Sominar.  Shorter half lifes will give you less next day effects.

I will try benadryl....maybe next time..

I don't like hydoxazine, for the reason you mention.

I thought Melatonin was illegal in Thailand.

In Thailand, they sell the benadryl as a 50 mg pill.  That's Very strong. They usually recommend 25-50 mg for sleeping But I would recommend that you first try a lower dosage of 10-15 mg.  You can easily break the 50 mg tablets in half giving you 25 mg and then take a knife or scissors and cut off a piece to get a lower dosage.  Less is better especially if you want to avoid the next morning hangover effects.

@NoshowJones Lorazepam is a narcotic, no different that diazepam / Valiums, and may be illegal to carry through international airports without permission.

 

Hope you have a script with you at check in, at BKK.

Lazada is just a platform.

 

But it can happen that vendors using that platform have counterfeit goods. There are also many legitimate goods on it.

 

It is buyer beware.

 

Thanks Dr. Sheryl.

It was for a short time. But has been legal again for some time.

My friend uses this for sleeping quickly. He says it puts him to sleep very quickly.  He uses  Benadryl (diphenhydramine--15mg) ...2 times a week....

he alternately takes doxylamine(sominar-10 mg ) a few times a week...He alternates them to try and avoid building up a tolerance  But they are Both second generation antihistamines so I don't know if his plan is working.  These seem to be lower dosages than recommended BUT he also takes 1-2 beers with them to add to the knock out effect.  He claims that by taking the lower amount of pills he gets very little next day grogginess and the alcohol clears his body quickly.  Is something that would be reasonable safe to do 3-4 times a week ??? He has been doing this for several months and doesn't seem to be showing any side effects.  He does complain of getting a very dry mouth which is a common side effect of antihistamines and alcohol ... I was considering trying this but I thought I might get your feedback...Thanks for any opinions.

This bring to mind a quote from an old Rodney Dangerfield movie, "I don't know how to go to sleep. I only know how to pass out"...Maybe some truth in that.

Alprazolam (Xanax) 6mg is a huge dose and highly addictive. Wicked withdrawal symptoms also if try to stop.

Tell me about it.  I used Zolpidem (Ambien) for about 6 weeks, because I was on some medication that made it impossible for me to sleep.  Well, the rebound insomnia was worse than the original insomnia.  Took me almost 3 months to wean off even only 5mg a night pills.  Never again.

Going to the UK shortly I bought Melatonin sleeping pills for on the plane and for jetlag. They served me well in the past.

This time I bought them from Lazada, each pill 10mg. I tried one and it did not work at all, so I went and bought some Travan 0.5mg from the local doctor and tried one and I fell asleep immediately for 8 hours.

My question is, is it possible that the Melatonin was counterfeit? Especially as I bought them from Lazada?

Is there anyway I can get them tested?

 

Melatonin: there would be no point counterfeiting it as does not really work. The time you tried it and you thought it worked that was just psychosomatic. Try 1/2 grams = one or two grammes of Ativan. They come in two gram pills which you can cut in half.  You can even get them legally from the hospital or pharmacy with a prescription to carry with you.

It works for many people (me included)

 

It does not "knock you out", it just helps produce a natural sleepiness. People whose insomnia is tied to anxiety often find it does help, because they are looking for something that overcomes the anxiety.

 

Melatonin is particularly helpful for sleep problems related to melatonin levels e.g. jet lag and middle of the night/ early morning wakefulness in the elderly

 

Ativan is lorazepam, a benzo and a tranquilizer.  Already discussed in this thread. There are many brands here besides Ativan (which I think is going off market). Like all benzos, addictive if taken regularly, and a controlled substance here.

I was given, by a doctor,  Hydroxyzine for itchiness.

Just take IT ONCE for the journey then you need not worry about addiction! Have a glass of brandy with it- live a little- turn your journey into a party!

You can buy it here at many pharmacys.  You don't need a doctors' Rx.  Most antihistamines will work for itching.
