Nytol is basically the same as Piriton (hayfever etc) which is an antihystmine called chlorpheniramine, basically makes you feel drowsy (from a nytol point of view) it's stops allergy and itching really.
The drowsyness is a side effect so they decided it was a good idea to market as a sleep aid too.
They also make you ratty as fvck and feel like sh!t the next day. I know trust me. :)
I would go to sleep okay with then but then wake a few hours later with kinda cramp and be wide awake. i find they make your mouth feel wierd the next day too, kinda metallicy taste, or is that just me?
Can't really suggest any other non-prescrition stuff, they are all crap. Hence non-prescrition.
A huuuuge bong generally works, so I'm told. :)
Will that do?

Finally a topic I can comment on with authority for my first message !!!
The active ingredient is an antihistamine called diphenhydramine hydrochloride.
I used to work in the labs of the company that makes them and tried them once - felt like crap the next day and have never touched them since.
If you can't sleep try a Beechams Hot Lemon with a LARGE shot of Rum, Whisky, or Brandy (or all three :) ) - works like a dream !!!!:D :D

How odd I thought they were exactly the same antihistamine, sorry.
Both make you feel crap though. :(

I've tried them and they didn't work for me. I think the anti-histamines can have some weird side effects on some people though - tremors and hot flushes and stuff.
I found a few lorazepam tablets I had lying around would do the trick. But seriously once you start relying on that sort of stuff to sleep its very difficult to get off.
sominex mate, thats the stuff to get you to sleep. tried nytol, no sucess. take the sominex, hang around dossing for half an hour until you feel yourself going, and then get to bed, a guaranteed good kip.
agree with pap ( as always, hes a very clever bloke ya know) i just use em now and then, work a lot of nights and you always end up having a bad week now and then.

Yeah they get rid of my hayfever symptoms in the warm summer months. :)
In the words of my esteemed colleague, Prof. Dr. Nate Dogg M.D. :
"Smoke weed every day" :)
Works for me - you lads should try it!!
Failing that, guinness and sex also do the trick :D
Nah, a smoke before sleep increases your blood pressure and heartrate making it more difficult. Spliffs two hours before work though. The best solution is to have sex or knock one off.
Failling that, a large G&T.

Joint may stimulate a bit due to the baccy, but you canny tell me I'm less my heart is beating faster with more vigour than before I have a bong. Rest assured it's barely moving. :)
Funny that, 'cos if I hit a bong too hard, it certainly feels like my hearts beating fast, just before I nearly pass out :)
The best way to sleep has got to be a big fat smoke, followed by a couple of drinks, followed by another big fat smoke... While watching snooker!

Try GAMMA HYDROXYBUTYRATE you'll feell euphoric start to hallucenate and then fall asleep and grow some muscles.
Im not sure if it's illegal here or not but its got to be more fun than nytol.

No it's not and if you want someI can get it. :)
GHB, laugh a minute. Turns you into a sex pest too.
Oh it's reasonably easy to die too, esp if pi55ed.

Oops, forgot to e-mail you... I posted it on Tuesday :)
You should have it by the weekend, stoned posties allowing ;)
Ahhh lots of help :D
Yes, I do also sometimes seem to get only 3-4 hours sleep after taking nytol, which is REALLY annoying! Being able to -get- to sleep is only half the battle :)
The rattiness - hasn't really affected me, has to be said, but I think I did find that depression was a side effect from a continous usage dosage.
Sadly alcohol isn't really an option for going to sleep, although at least if I did I wouldn't get the hangovers like those Hemel boys do!
Cheers again innit
Still waiting for tonight's to kick in .. been over an hour now .. disappointing, nytol!
Maybe I should find a really solid surface and just headbutt myself into unconsciousness. The pain will probably have ended before I wake up anyway.
Andy, Just stop snortin' the toot and you won't need any sleeping aids :D. You will also find you will not only have an appetite, but you will be able to consume food :D which will make you go to the crapper :D

Mix it with Sudafed, that will help you sleep.;)
Seriously, I am not encouraging anyone to mix pharmaceuticals, they can be lethal when mixed.

Sudafed is psuedoephedrine, it's like crap speed. It wont make you sleep. unless the booze far far far outwieghs the Sudafed.
Ephedrine is sold in Amsterdam legally and it does keep you awake quite effectively.
