I usually use Ambien or Lunesta to sleep. This has been going on for the past 7 years. I'm under the care of a doctor who knows all my medical history.
I'm interested in getting off the RX meds and trying OTC Sleep Aids. I noticed many contain Benadryl, which I know can cause problems for us. Does anyone know of an OTC Sleep Aid here in the USA that is safe for us to use? I've tried Melatonin several years ago, but I'm not sure on the safety of even that. I recall someone talking about Nyquil causing problems too. I would rather NOT get into Nyquil due to the alcohol and the fact you have to take like 3 tablespoons of the nasty stuff.
Thanks!
