You're 16, you don't want to get into these pill-popping habits so early in life. Are they an actual prescription? You haven't said..... Try getting yourself into a proper sleep schedule..I know as a teen I was all over the place with sleep. So when you want to, you can't. Only use your bed for sleep, not reading, eating or watching TV. Don't drink caffeine. There is no point in taking a drug just to counter the effects of another drug. Try some other methods before taking pills. You probably don't need them.
sometimes I will stay up 2-4 night without sleeping pills, then when I take some (more then reccommended & more then most people could handle) I get about 4-5 hrs of sleep...so if ya see me here really late then you'll know I've been out of pills all week.
ionno, i read about it on a erowid.org faq, it helps with getting amphetamines out of you in some way. drinking water really isnt that great because if you drink to much your just pissing out, well water. what they test you for is whats in the creatine of your urine (what makes it yellow) so a good thing to do is EXCERSISE a LOT and SWEAT a LOT, since its really how out where i am, before a drug test i go into my attic everyday and do a bunch of push ups to get all the THC or whatever i have done, into my bloodstream instead of my fat, and then piss it out, run too.
Most OTC sleeping pills have doxylamine, which is an antihistimine. It won't be tested for in drug tests, but if you can't fall asleep without taking sleeping pills, you're taking them too often.
I never took a sleeping pill until June 1998...first time I came to AZ. started out with only 2 pills that whole trip. (my ex was driving) Then didn't have any more till a year later when Life in Summer of 1999, got so stressful that sleep was a really good thing so I started again....off & on. Then in 2000, I started working 12-hr graveyard shifts, was about impossible to sleep during the day with little kids running around screaming at each other. So between that job & later more stress...I started taking more & more pills. Now if its a real stressful week a bottle of 50 sleeping pills can last me 5 days...5 pills can last 4-5 hrs, when I wake up I can take 5 more for 4-5 more hrs of sleep. So while I'm waiting for the second set of 5 pills to kick in I can play online for an hour. Just don't take 10 all at once or ya may start seeing things that ain't really there.....like fat ugly singing trolls in the living room.
