I have a problem....is it possible to be addicted to over the counter sleep aids cause lord I can't sleep without them

yes it's possible. you should talk to your doctor

Like I realized it a long time ago I've stopped but I was nosing around and thought about it

@francesgln92,

you can become addicated to any medication now a days

I just read on it it's the Benadryl in the zzzquil and Tylenol pms

@francesgln92,

I got a little to attached to nightquil when I was 18.

Absolutely! I got up to 6 Tylenol pm's a night! Then switched and was up to 6 benadryls a night! It's definitely additive... I'm not exaggerating I was really taking that much 😳

Moral of the story is you gotta just go cold turkey on them and stop taking them. Eventually your body will catch up and sleep will regulate. But it sucks

Yes ma'am. You can get addicted to any medications. For example, your lips can even get addicted to Carmex or other lip balms simply because it's medicated.

I feel you I've had to use them at least 4 nights a week. I don't take them any more than that tho cuz my body like built a tolerance to them almost & I don't like how it feels to take 2 & still not be able to fall asleep I almost feel high lol and the nights I don't take them omg I can't sleep till like 7am it's ridiculous

switch to melitonin your body naturally makes it and it's a vitimin
