Hello MercilessKiller


I'll move your thread to the 'Health MoneySaving' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

I think I would suggest you walk into a pharmacy and ask directly if the drug you're after is available in the UK, either over the counter or if it's prescription. They should be able to find out for you. If it's not legal in the UK, then it's up to you whether or not you buy it from another country via ebay or whatever.

Forgive me for being critical, but you seem to be looking to use a sledge hammer to crack a nut. There are lots of ways to encourage a good sleeping pattern, but perhaps the best thing is to figure out what is causing your problem then fix that. Have you tried exercise, eg brisk walk for a half hour a day, given up all caffeine for good, given up stimulants such as cigs and booze, done some talking therapy with a good friend who listens rather than talks all over you, or with a counsellor etc. I realise you're a student and know how stressful it can be - but that is life, we all have stress in our lives. Managing stress is a skill - maybe a stress management self-help book would be more productive for you in the longer term? Drugs are for people who are ill. I'm not sure why you view the use of chemicals as a first resort rather than a last resort, unfortunately there isn't an instant cure for many problems, no matter how good the research. You mentioned that the drug you're interested in is an anti-depressant. Just so as you know, some of the side effects which may be experienced while taking an anti-depressant include:

nausea
change in sex drive or function (ie forget about it, whether you're male or female)
lack of appetite
insomnia (!!)
dizziness/tremors
blurred vision
yawning
dry mouth
diarrhoea or constipation
sweating, feeling weak
bruising easily
skin rash or skin itchiness
not being able to pass water
vomiting
low blood pressure
seizures
abnormal production of breast milk in men and women
allergic reaction to the drug


That's taken from an actual leaflet pertaining to an anti-depressant. And it's not the full list. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why anti-depressants are not freely available over the counter but must have medical supervision in their use. I won't mention the likely side effects when coming off the anti-depressant.


Good luck whichever way you choose to tackle this issue, (but I think a box of camomile tea and a stress management book would be of benefit to you; you of course can make up your own mind).
