Question 1

after taking zzzquill i notice the vein in my legs twitching.can this be a side effect from zzquill? or should i be concern is something else?

Accepted Answer

Save your money: ZZquill is BENADRYL, (diphenhydramine) it won't KILL, but gives no THRILLS,  Your leg is twitching from the money you threw away and the coins that are rolling out of your pocket buying it.

Twitching is a side affect of benadryl (diphenhydramine)

Question 2

can you take zzzquil every night?

Accepted Answer

Diphenhydramine: This is a brand of 'diphenhyramine (benadryl).  It is not dangerous to use daily, but why would you have sleep problems ?  Address the problems causing insomnia if you can..  and Happy Dreams !

Question 3

is zzzquil ok to take for 11 year olds?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes: Zzzquil is just another brand name to Diphenhydramine 25mg. Other brand names are benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and unisom. It is ok to give it only at night, because it does causes sedation. If your son needs an antihistamine during the day, use a non-sedating such as Loratadine (claritin) or fexofenadine (allegra).

Question 4

does zzzquil work if you take it every night?

Accepted Answer

Tolerance: Eventually, you will build some tolerance to zzzquil and therefore, it will be less effective.  Make sure you are concentrating on sleep hygiene as a first step.  Reduce/eliminate caffeine and at least not after  noon.  Dark, cool, quiet bedroom.  Bed is only for sleep, sex and reading.  Avoid work, electronics  and television in the bedroom.  Sleep and wake at the same time daily.

Question 5

what happens if i take 6 zzzquil pills at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Sleepy /constipated: This may make you drowsy ,and constipated plus a very dry mouth but won't kill you.  If 2 do not work , 6 likely won't work either.  If you are trying to OD, please contact the suicide hotline ASAP.

Question 6

could you tell me what would happen if someone consumed 6 zzzquil?

Accepted Answer

Sedation: They would experience extreme sedation. Proper hydration is essential

Question 7

i took 2 zzzqueils about  10 hours ago is it okay to take another set of 2?

Accepted Answer

Maybe yes, maybe no: Dosing of meds depends upon several variables. Your body weight, dose amount, your kidney and liver function (paths of excretion for the med) and the purpose in taking the med and if you are taking any other med which might alter the metabolism of the drug you are taking. In addition, if you develop an infection affecting yr intestines, liver, kidneys that can change things. U he mentioned none.

Question 8

hi, if i take zzzquil 3-5 times a week (using no more than the recommended amount), how harmful is this? i took it 3 times last week. thanks.

Accepted Answer

Not harmful: This is an antihistamine rather than a sedative or hypnotic(sleeping pill) and as such is not harmful the way you're taking it.

Question 9

can i drink after taking zzzquil?

Accepted Answer

You can drink water: Zzzquil contains diphenhydramine, the same antihistamine found in Benadryl and sominex. The combination of a drug that induces sleep & alcohol is called "a mickey finn". If your goal is loss of consciousness then you are well on your way. I strongly advise against mixing zzzquil or similar drugs with alcohol.

Question 10

could i drink zzzquil every night?

Accepted Answer

Only for a limited: period, read the labels and cautions, the least is that you would develop tolerance after sometime, you would need a higher dose dose to get the same effect, needing it every night for whatever reason indicates ongoing problem which needs to be professionally addressed, good luck
