How can I get some sleep without using medication?

Question

Okay guys, I need some help here. I just had my wisdom teeth removed this past thursday (10-23-08) and I was on three different pills: an inflamitory, an antibiotic, and a pain killer (Hydrocodone). Well I had to take the inflamitory and the antibiotic until my perscription ran out. So, actually just a couple days ago I stopped taking those two and I tried to cut down on taking my pain medication so I wouldn't be dependant on it at all. Any time I take any of them they make me feel drowsy and kinda dizzy, even just my pain med alone. Okay, well I only have one left of each of the inflamitory and the antibiotic, and I have a few of my pain killers left, but yesterday I just tried not taking ANY of them (trying to quit cold turkey) and, well, that didn't work too well. Lol. Even though I wasn't having too much pain really in my mouth or jaw at all, as the day went on, I started to feel a little weak and kinda shakey, ya know? So, I wasn't feeling too great. Later I went to work and ended up taking only half of a hydrocodone to kinda mellow me out some, which worked for a few hours. So by the time I got home, since yesterday was the first day I acutally got out and started being active again since last wednesday, I was so exhausted by the time I got home, I just wanted to pass out. Well, I tried to go to sleep and I could NOT sleep AT ALL. I mean, I think I starred at the back of my eye lids all night long. It was miserable, and I was SO tired. I just couldnt sleep at all, tossing and turning ALL night. So, i've tried taking a nap today, and i think I slept a little bit, but it doesn't really feel like it. I don't know what to do because I'm really worried about being dependant on anything medication wise, and I'm still really tired, I dont know if i should just wait until tonight and try to sleep, or if I should try to take a nap again. I'm just so tired, I can barely stand it. :/ Help? (p.s: should I even take the last of my inflamitory and antibiotic to finish out my perscription, or just forget about it now since it's already been a few days?(p.s.s: sorry so long!)

Thank you so much for your time and help. :]

Answer 1

You should finish up taking the anti-inflammatory and the antibiotics so you dont get an infection. You can also take kava or valerian root, which are herbal supplements to help you sleep. You can buy these at most drugstores. I know valerian root comes in capsules and you are suppose to take them like two hours before bed. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You must ALWAYS finish any prescriptions for antibiotics that you receive from your MD, as for the other drugs - they are as required. Finish the antibiotics - have you tried warming up a glass of milk. Drinking it warm and laying down with the lights out under the covers?



Heating up the milk creates L-trypo******* (spelling) a protein in milk that helps us sleep. We would give my son that when he was much younger to help him sleep - colic a parents worse nightmare.

Answer 3

Take the last of your two pills. It takes 15 years to develop a proper antibiotic medicine and one person screwing with their meds to ruin it.



Have a drink tonight. No, have two.

Answer 4

Don't take anymore pills, you'll sleep soon enough. Just dont take anything. Maybe have a drink (if you're 21) before bed tonight.
