This. Halftime is 7-14h. I used to take it around 19-20h but would still be a bit drowsy when I woke up.
Some backstory about it: it’s not sleep medicine but it’s against allergic reactions, but has a side effect of drowsiness.
The reason why this is awesome, is that it isn’t a benzo. Benzo’s are addictive, you can only use those two e each 14 days without building a tolerance. There are also other alternatives for getting to sleep, but Promethazine is the one other than Benzo’s helping with staying asleep. It’s non-addictive, it doesn’t build up tolerance. They use it in mental clinics for new people brought in without a medical file, as it isn’t dangerous in combination with anything else, like alcohol or opiates.
So it’s really chill, but expect to be drowsy when you wake up so take it early in the evening, otherwise you won’t get out of bed early.
I used to take 25mg at first, eventually when I couldn’t sleep due to anti depressants (SNRI, which is partly a neuro adrenaline re-uptake) I got 75mg.
So convincing your doctor to get this is easy as it doesn’t have bad side effects or tolerance buildup. It’s really safe to take this.
The upside of Benzo’s (like valium of diazepam, or anything else ending in ‘pam’) is that it works really well. The downside is the tolerance build up and the addiction.
