Sleeping Tablets?
Can you not buy strong sleeping tablets in the UK?
To get over jetlag I normally buy Doxylamine Succinite in the US but I forgot last time I went and have been looking around but everything over the counter appears to be herbal rubbish.
I can get a prescription for Zopiclone, but prefer not to go down that route.
Thanks for any information.

Looks like you can buy doxylamine succinate online in the uk but I don't think I've ever seen it sold OTC except in pain killers such as syndol. Best sleep aid you can get from boots, superdrug etc. would be nytol (diphenhydramine) - a sedating antihistamine like doxylamine.

Nothing wrong with Zopiclone, I have taken them in the past. I would just rather not have on my Doctor's records that I have requested them more than once or twice. (they do leave a horrible metal taste in your mouth). A prescription lasts me about a year or so.
With regards to exercise and alchohol it doesn't really help with jetlag, I need something that makes me sleep quite well to get over it quickly.

Oxycodone is a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act.[93] For Class A drugs, which are "considered to be the most likely to cause harm," possession without a prescription is punishable by up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both

Can't stand that stuff. I took some after some surgery I had in 2009 and it made me feel really spaced out but restless and hyper.

And a big issue for a friend who is a cop out there, apparently abuse is quite common to come across.
Yeah it's basically chemical heroin. Not a pleasant feeling but the flight passed quick lol.

If you're on them too long it can be really hard to come off them - the withdrawal effects can be extremely unpleasant, just so you are aware as these drugs have snared millions of people:

I don't think she will be bothered by addiction, more side effects.
In her condition I doubt she will come off them now. Main thing is they are doing their job
Cheers for the info though.
