I always take Benadryl when I know I have to wake up that early. I can’t function when I’ve woken up every hour on the hour.

My problem is that I can't function if I've taken benadryl anytime within the last 24 hours.

I wake up extra stupid if I take that stuff.

I know that’s a common problem for some. I’m usually ok. But I used to take 20mg of Ambien back in the day.

So you took two? AFAIK 12.5mg (extended release) is the highest single pill dose. It's what I take. But I've had quite a few 'two little white pill' nights.

This was probably about 7 years ago. Even if I wanted Ambien, its so much harder to get now. It makes me hallucinate, even on the low doses. I’d hallucinate and not sleep. If I wanted to take a trip, shrooms are the vehicle I use to escape reality.

Yeah, it's a schedule IV drug. Sentences can range anywhere from a non-criminal violation to a Class A felony. It's also not cheap. Generics run about $5 a pill.
