have not slept for two days. I don't know what to do.I want to o to sleep but I just can't. Zoloft has the side effect of insomnia and sleep changes. Any advice or medicine that can help go to sleep.

Ask your dr if you can use Benadryl, it works!

I did not talk to my doctor but I did talk to a pharmaceutics we both discussed two options benadryl and melatonin to help me sleep but not to use benadryl to much because it will wear off.

Can I take benadryl in the day to sleep, already took the zoloft for morning, but I really want to sleep.

Benadryl is good, if you take two capsules but don't plan on being awake as in don't drive or even try to function. Melatonin during the day is a bad idea as it will mess up your body clock, at night its good usually an hour before bed 3-5mg and no more. It works better in low doses.

I took in the morning I took a nap not any sleep for an hour and half. I'm freaking out that I might not sleep and that the medicine I took makes me cold,dizzy, emotional unbalance I only took 50 mg. Tonight I'll take 25mg because the doctor told me 75mg to sleep.

Most of us who use benadryl to sleep use it at night, I have used it
on and off for years with no problems, I agree with Joshua dont drive. Peace

how long does benadryl last in your system? is it ok I'll use again at night for 25mg?

Check the dosage on the package, friend. I wouldn't take it more often than the package says without calling a doctor or pharmacist.

I'm sorry I don't know the mg. they are red and I get them at Walmart, they come standard I just take two this sounds crazy but
I always take them out of the big bottle and put them in several
smaller bottles for easier carry. I think if you use no more than two
at bed time you will not be in any danger.
