Whats the regulations say about taking otc sleep meds or prescribed sleep meds.
The only issue I see in sleep meds is that they may show up on piss test.
Are sleep meds legal to take?

i know that Melatonin is approved for pilots, it should be ok, but not sure about other products

I believe only codeine like Tylenol 3 will show up on drug test.
Tylenol PM, and ambien are fine.
I've taken ambien before. It's great if you can't sleep. -
Friend of mine guzzles Nyquil. He doesn't measure the dosage, just opens the bottle and drinks about a third or more of it.
justcarhaulin and hunted Thank this. -
Many of the over the counter sleep meds are the same as cold and or allergy meds just a higher dosage. I would think any over the counter sleep med would be ok. Prescription sleep meds might be questionable.

I remember when I was young and a regular pot smoker I had friends who would resort to NyQuil when they ran out of pot.
They would drink a whole bottle of it.
I never did it, they told me I didn't know what I was missing.
But they could barely walk when they did it, I remember one girl chugged a bottle of NyQuil and went to the bathroom and I heard a Thud sound.
She fell off the toilet and was passed out and had peed all over herself.austinmike, CasanovaCruiser, joesmoothdog and 2 others Thank this. -
Only take sleep aids when you are actually asleep, so you won't be asleep when you are awake...

Codeine is a opium derivative, (like Morphine and Heroin) so unless you have a prescription and you notified your carrier about it promptly (as in immediately after getting the prescription) you could be in for a world of hurt as the tests they give can't really differentiate between them.
