Question:

Sleeping Pills are addictive?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I've seen lots of Q&A about sleeping pills.

They are addictive.

Tomorrow is my flight...

It's 15 hours flight.

I'm planning to take a pill.

Do you think it's okay to take one pill only?

Is it addictive if I only take 1 sleeping pill?

  1. Tylenol and Advil PM aren't addicting.I take Tylenol Pm at night sometimes when I have back pain and can't sleep,but I haven't formed a habit of it,only when needed.If you take only one sleeping pill you will be just fine.


  2. One Over the counter sleeping pill wont hurt you. BUT

    It might not be a good idea to take something you have never taken before if you dont know how your body will react to it.

    You can also take something natural like Hyland's Calms Forte  to relax you during the flight if you dont want something as strong as a sleeping pill.

    Also bring a comfortable travel pillow for your neck. One of those U shaped neck pillows. Preferably Memory foam.

  3. Absolutely not!

    Very few things are addictive the first time you take the, such as Heroin and Crack.

    But taking one sleeping pill is not addictive.

  4. Most sleeping pills, even prescribed ones, are nonaddictive.  The reasin is because they are non-narcotic. When people refer to being "addicted" to sleeping pills, they generally are not really addicted, they just want more.  Its usually a mental thing.  I first took Ambien CR in 2005 to help me sleep. I got off of it, then I started again this year.  I haven't taken any in about 2 months and I'm fine.  Like I said, its all a mind thing.  When ur on ur flight u should be fine, and when you get off you should be fine after you take a sleeping pill! Doctors generally do not have any oppositions in prescribing Ambien because of the fact that it is non-narcotic. Good Luck!

  5. one should be fine. When you take them nightly is when they become addictive

  6. They are "addictive" only if you take them regularly, night after night.  The occasional sleeping pill is not addictive.

  7. Why do you need to take a pill? If taken regularly they can become addictive and it takes a great deal of will-power to get free. I know from grim experience.

    After a while they become less effective.

      I found that boredom was just as good. Think of a boring story and let nature do the rest.
