I love sublingual melatonin but lately it’s not working as well for me for some reason. What pills can I buy that make a person sleep great that you can buy at the drugstore?

@Aster Like @Dutchess_III says I take OTC Benadryl. (diphenhydramine generic)

I sometimes take Benadryl (generic). It works great. I take it with a little water and cracker or two. Then I brush my teeth and get ready for bed. By the time I’m finished it is in my system and I’m ready to fall asleep quickly.

@Aster The tablets I have are 25mg. I take one. Get mine at Costco for 5 or 6 dollars for 600.
