Sleeping Pills?!

Sleeping Pills?

I get nervous on flights and have a long haul one very soon, i havent got any time to go see a doc, so may get some sleeping pills to chill me out a bit, even if they dont make me sleep just drowsy would be good. Can anyone recommend any good non prescription drugs that would do the job?

Thanks

You talk as if taking sleeping pills is a harmless activity, it isn't and they are rapidly habit forming, even 3 taken over a few days can produce withdrawal, hopefully your GP is good enough that he will refuse to prescribe them anyway. It might not be unreasonable to try a sedative antihistamine like Piriton, these also help travel sickness.
