Is Gravol safe to use, I need to fall asleep, but because of anxiety.

Question

The last 5 days I have been getting about 2 hours of sleep each night and I'm waking up at about 7pm because I can't fall asleep at night because of this sudden anxiety. I need to fall asleep today by at least 2am which is 7 hours after I woke up. Is gravol safe to use, especially since the reason I haven't been sleeping is because of anxiety? I just need to get my sleeping pattern back on track.

Answer 1

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Answer 2

Don't know about Gravol. However anxiety and sleeplessness can be the result of low blood sugar.  Try a snack consisting of protein (like tuna or an egg) and a bit of low glycemic carbohydrate (like 1/2 apple) along with water and some peanuts about 2 hours before bedtime.  Try that a couple of nights in a row - watching your regular meals, that they don't have a lot of sugar/sweet foods.

This should help, without meds.

Answer 3

take too much gravol and it's just like shrooms!
