is it bad to take nite-quil a couple of nights a week to go to sleep? Why would it be bad?


Question:


Answers:
You will NOT develop physical dependence-maybe psychological. If you mean Nyquil-then yes,it has all kinds of different drugs in it besides what makes you sleepy. If you meant Nytol, it only has diphenhydramine,also known as Benadryl,which is what makes you sleepy. It might be good to try to figure out what causes your insomnia,but if you're like me you can't always avoid it-and taking diphenhydramine a couple times a week absolutely won't hurt you. Ambien is also really good but not everyone can afford to see a doctor regularly to get a prescription and also is kinda expensive. Generic diphenhydramine is $5 for 100 25mg tablets at Walmart-most people only need one,some two(don't take more than 50mg).

Other Answers:
You could develop a dependence on it.

AMBIEN OR LUNESTRA OR YOU NAME IT!


If you are experiencing sleeplessness on a regular basis, it may point to some sort of sleep disorder such as sleep apnea or some sort of stress. While taking Nyquil every night is a temporary fix, it might be more beneficial to know the underlying cause of your sleep problems. Also, when you take Nyquil, you are taking all of the ingredients for treating cold and flu symptoms, so you're putting unnecessary chemicals into your body. it might be bad, i take simply sleep, but i'm also a worrier, so its hard for me to sleep. if i were you, i wouldnt take anything unless you really had to, and if you did, take simply sleep, it works wonders and doesnt make you groggy the next day.


I don't think that once in a while would be bad, but to take this or any other over the counter medication for a long period of time will cause your immune system to get use to the medication, there for when you actually need to take something for a cold it will not be as affective, please talk to your doctor for a sleeping aid medication and explain to him you haven't been sleeping right.
