Nytol is just a mega dose of antihistamine.  I buy the supermarket own brand "Nytol" which is much cheaper, called Sleep Aid in Asda I think but tesco and sainsburys do them too.  Is that the same drug that you are getting from the US?  Not something like temazepam?

 Whichever, I do end up with a hangover effect the next day so prefer not to take them but when I get desperate I do.  Is fine for just a few days but I hve been addicted to temazepam before now so doubt drs would prescribe them for me again.  Ditto valium, luckily I can get them from friend if I ever do need them.

No, Milliemoo, it's not any prescription drug like temazepam.
What I get in in US is diphenhydramine, which is the active ingredient in Nytol.

I used to get Boots version of Nytol (which was cheaper but the same thing) before I discovered I could get it cheaper in the US. 
Also you can buy melatonin over there off the supermarket shelf.
Lots of meds are cheaper over there  but I'm not talking about prescription strength stuff or anything like temazepam.
Can't wait to stock up again in Feb!!

They sometimes have different names for drugs over in the US don't they   Are the tablets we're taking a different strength to the Nytol ones here Clovie?  Don't know if its a placebo effect but the US ones work so much better than Nytol ever did.
    We're hopefully going over again next year too so I shall  be stocking up

Hi again! *waves*
I've just had a look at mine and the dose in One-a-night Nytol = 50mg per tablet, the ones I buy are 25mg per tablet but the nightly dose is 2 tablets, so they are the same but I agree the ones I get from US seem to be more potent too!! 
Off topic but out of interest - whereabouts are you hoping to go in the US next year Evenstar?
We go to Florida a fair bit - for the kids you understand!
