I take the pill SLEEP MD. About 5 days a week and have been for about a year because I have insomnia without it. Lately, I've been feeling really sick - nausea and anxiety - and tired and was wondering if it's a long term effect from sleep md. The pills are supossed to be natural and non habit forming so I thought it was safe but could I be feeling sick because of these pills?

Are these prescribed pills?

The long term effect of sleeping pills are not good!

Sleeping pills reduce brain cell activity during the day, affecting short-term memory as well as causing a hangover effect.

Sleeping pills can actually get addictive like cigarettes and cocain

Sleeping pills can help you at night time but they do not improve daytime function or performance [it effects our consciousness, judgment, memory and intelligence]

Sleeping pills can give you a number of things:
Nausea, constipation and a general uneasy feeling.

My suggestion: get off the pills.

Figured I had to spread the rep, but I agree with Muddy there, You should probably get off the pills as soon as you can.

I have insomnia and use melatonin. It is a natural hormone the body produces. Without it I don't sleep as well but with it I sleep very well. Not habit forming. Try the under the tongue variety for best absorption. I take 1 mg tablets sometimes 3 a night or for a night depending on how awake I am. I buy mine over the net and save 50% or more.

Not habit forming and if anything it is something the body needs anyway for proper health.

Thanks everyone.. these pills (non-prescription, sleep md) are actually supposed to be natural and non addictive so I didn't think they could make me sick. Haha maybe I'm wrong and fooled by the word natural but I've been taking them for a year so I thought it was strange how they would just start affecting me now

In my town sleep MD is right beside all the other "advertised pills"; Hydroxycut, Cylaris, and even they're own PMS be gone pills.

I think if those pills have their own section then they're not good for you [it's also at the back of the store]-- I remember I wanted to try an "advertised pill" and the clerk ended up bringing me to the homopathic medicines.

Just a thought...

Thanks for the clarification Sarah. Guess I don't spend much time in that part of the store. :p
