Herbal sleeping pills?

[Darkmotive]

today i bought some herbal sleeping pills, they are meant to help you sleep and than keep you awake during the day (sustained release)...lets see how it goes i have alot of sleep issues than again most BP people proberly do. they are called insomin-x, the are suppost to reduce anxiety (lets see about that lol). has anyone else try sleeping pills or herbal sleeping pills? what were they like? did they work? do you still use them??

-Darkmotive ;)p.s you proberly wont know insomin-x because there 100% australian owned & produced. (i just read that on the pack)

i tried herbal sleeping pills for a few months(i gave them a long enough shot to try and work)but unfortunately for me they did absolutely nothing....could have been swallowing chalk for all the good they did me.
saying that though each persons metabolism ids different and what works for some doesnt for others.good luck with trying them i hope that they do help you....god knows we could all do with a proper nights sleep.
i stopped drinking coffee and that hasnt helped......i find a bottle of wine does the trick for me but i wouldnt really recomend it and i dont do it very often...hehe

alcohol does not help me sleep it does the oppsite, i became really active, i stop drinking coffee and cut put caffeine. it just made me sleepy in the day but still wide awake at night. these pills are suppused to be really good.

i cant drink much alcohol these days cause of the lithium, i have 2 drinks and i feel like i need water from here on.

alcohol and lithium make me sick....
as i said i wouldnt recommend it...
you will have to let us know if they work or not.....if they do i may have get you to send me some

i was given perscription sleep meds  a couple of times and they made me a little drowsy but never helped me sleep at night

I have tried Melatonin. It worked for about a month, then nothing. I have been on Lunesta, Rozerem, Ambien, and now Restoril. I have been on the Restoril now for 6 or 9 months... I can't remember. But what happens is usually this. Take pills. Pills work for 6 months. Pills stop working. On to the next pill. It is quite aggravating.

I think I have said this in a post before... my problem is getting to sleep and then staying asleep. Getting to sleep for me is the hard part.I have to take my pill hours in advance so I will hopefully be sleepy by bed time.

i regret to inform that they don't work, it was worth the try though. maybe herbal is not the way to go?

when you go to see the psych, tell them about your sleeping problem. they might be able to suggest something.
