Re: Sleeping Tablets
LOL that is why I take Avomine since they stopped selling the scopolomine patches which were fantastic!!! Avomine works for 24 hours rather than the miserable 6 hours that dramamine gives you! I get motion sick just watching planes take off so I definitely need a cast iron solution! If you can find "Scop" patches anywhere though, do get them, they stick behind your ear and last for 48 hours or more.

Phenergen bought over the counter! ... 
One tab wipes me out, altho as others have said maybe not the best state to be in on a plane.

Re: Sleeping Tablets
Or you could buy some Night Nurse cough syrup. It contains Promethazine, which is a sedating antihistamine. It will put you to sleep nicely (even fi you don't have a cough).

P.S. Just looked up Paul's Phenergan and discovered it also contains Promethazine.

Re: Sleeping Tablets
Or going to!!
We had some basic sleeping tablets from our doc and immigration at Sydney thought we were drug dealers!!
We had 24 tablets which contained tamazipan? and immi said that they were 'Highly illegal in Australia and you could receive a $2000 fine
'
He then got his manager, who then got someone else.... who counted them and said we could keep them - at one point I said they could keep them -
After a 25 hour flight with 2 kids and OH and not being 'home' for 15 years I seriously thought they were going to refuse our entry...
They let us and the tablets go through
Check the website for what is allowed to save the hassle

Re: Sleeping Tablets
We got sleeping tablets from Oz doc. We used them in the days after we had landed not on the plane. We found by taking them at "normal" bedtime (when we were still raring to go) so making us HAVE to sleep we got over jetlag much quicker than all previous journeys.
