Did you ever

[Dolt]

order sleeping pills from the net?
I just ordered 30tabs.
Do you think they'll be OK?

[Buenchico]

Which website?

[4getmenot]

may make you sleep, but will you wake up?

[boxtops]

I wouldn't, I really wouldn't - you have no idea if they are genuine, or what's in them. Sometimes drugs sold on line are rubbish and don't contain what they say they do. Why don't you just go to the chemist? Have you ordered them from a UK site?

[Dolt]

From Ebay, ,,,,,there is lots of positaves,
Can I put up a link?

[sandyRoe]

At best there'll be no active ingredient in them. At worst, you might sleep forever.
Why don't you see your GP if you think you need sleeping pills?

[ladybirder]

I buy Melatonin on t'internet no probs.

[Buenchico]

eBay? Sounds dodgy to me (but your link is still welcome).

[boxtops]

The positive feedback is about the transaction, not about the efficacy of the medication. I wouldn't put one in my mouth if I'd bought it off the net.

[DTCwordfan]

Neither would I.....^

Here's the linh, ......what do you think?

I buy from BIOVEA, they are fine.

"Estimated delivery time varies for items dispatched from an international location. "
I would interpret that at saying that the person selling them is in Dundee but the package is being shipped from overseas. For heaven's sake, the photo doesn't even show a proper box with legitimately branded packaging. You could be taking anything.

scroll down here to "Herbal Remedies" - ok the price may be out of date, but buying the legit NatraSleep from Boots will cost you less than a fiver http://www.dailymail....afe-nights-sleep.html

-and at least you know what you are getting if you buy from a proper chemist.

[Buenchico]

Since they're herbal, they're probably OK.

However the ad says that the brand is Natrasleep. 30 tablets for £4.62 isn't a great price. Boots will sell you a 50 tablet pack for £3.35, and they're currently on a '3 for 2' offer!

I wouldn't be surprised to find that the eBay seller is actually getting his stocks from Boots anyway, and simply splitting the packs.

...£4.62 + £3 postage, chris... twice the price of the Boots ticket.

One of these Dominic Littlewood type shows followed the Trading Standards people (with local Police) to a guy selling 65,000 pills a week on the net. All from his bedsit in what I would consider the seedy side of town.

They tested them and found that they did indeed contain the basic ingredients but the active ingridient was only 25% of wht it should be. So they were pratically ineffective in what they were meant to be used for

I personally would steer clear of these suppliers and not just those on Ebay

Herbal tablets can kill just as easily as the non-herbal stuff.

But we're all going to die at some point anyway so ...........................

[Dolt]

Chris you may be right,........... but if I has to get them I'd have to go through a doctor for a script, I'm not in the UK, so buying off Ebay is cheaper instead of going to a Dr for me.

[boxtops]

I'd rather go later than sooner, though, wolfy!

[Dolt]

wolfe, that's my plosephy also....."we all die at some point"
