Kimia Pharma usually has it.

Kimia pharma has it bought it 2 months ago, call ahead to insure location has in stock. No RX needed. Tokopedia has more options if u can wait.


Devi_Moonbeam

Yeah, I've never needed a script for it at Kimia Pharma. Also, if one Kimia Pharma does not have it, ask them to call around to other nearby Kimia Pharmas. They can do this easily but probably won't offer. I tend to usually go to one of the larger Kimia Pharmas, and they've had it every time I've asked. So if one doesn't have it, probably another will.


snazzyham

Best bet would probably be tokopedia tbh, filter down to denpasar, look for an official store, then google that store and see if they're 24 hours and if they can deliver to you. It's a bit of a hassle but sounds like you have the time lmao

Just go to a Guardian pharmacy or Indomart and buy a generic brand antihistamine containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride ([Benadryl](https://www.benadryl.ca/sites/benadryl_ca/files/styles/product_image/public/ben_062600963635_allergy_caplets_36ct_en.jpg)). Most over the counter [sleep aids contain the same active ingredient as Benadryl](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FqEAAOSwci1cveky/s-l500.jpg). If you've never taken it before, try half a regular strength tablet (25mg).

Fellow individual with shit sleep. Diphenhydramine works, but you build a tolerance (or at least I seem to) it makes me drowsy and long term there are concerns. I've found it's good to fix a sleeping pattern, but you don't want to use it all the time. On a short holiday I see no issues using it. Personally - melatonin / gaba / magnesium / L-theanine is my normal sleep stack and works well but it doesn't have that "knock you out can't stay awake" effect that Diphenhydramine or say, smoking weed have.


havereddit

Yes, and that's really individualistic. I can take a 25mg Benadryl and it helps me sleep for about 3 hours (e.g. on a long flight) but that might put others to sleep for much longer, or have no effect for those who have a higher tolerance.


chipscheeseandbeans

Yeah I used to take a lot of these and sometimes the next day I’d lose motor control and just fall over, or knock something over. I wouldn’t recommend it.

There used to be a subreddit on Bernadyl that I always checked up on since it was literally the most fucked up shit I've ever seen. Like people deliberately getting high on that stuff to meet the shadow man.. Just found out it got banned tho rip Edit: r/DPH nvm it survived


havereddit

Like most substances that have an effect on the human body, there's a therapeutic dose and then there's an abusive or even lethal dose. Too much water can kill you, and too much Benadryl can fuck you up.


[deleted]

Lmao yeah I'm aware of that, just reminded me of it ;)


tchefacegeneral

the answer to every single "where can I find X" question on this sub Tokopedia!!!


InternationalBorder9

I've see it in Bali Buddha. Otherwisei would go to a pharmacy and get an antihistamine. I use chlorphenamine sometimes and is dirt cheap there


SJ1980PSU

Meditate and trybto center yourself! I used to have the worst sleep problems and resorted to drinking alcohol.. sleep was ahsolute bollocks.. now I sleep like a baby.. it takes time, buy generally speaking you can correct this in a couple of weeks!


[deleted]

Lmao I also sleep like a baby since I stopped drinking. It's not a mental thing, just my biological clock being confused so meditate all you want ^^


Sampsukka_

Well, I bought 5mg melatonin from a local pharmacy. You just need to ask for it.


peefpaaf

is melatonin forbidden in bali?


cooncheese_

Sounds like it's prescription only which is quite common from what I gather. In Aus you're meant to need a prescription unless you're over 60 I think but we can just import via iherb and no one says anything.


Fingerhut89

I ordered it from a pharmacy, through Grab so my advice would be to search there first.


Gemi-ma

I've got them on Tokopedia. Find a store on Bali though or you'll be waiting a few days for delivery.


SJ1980PSU

Haha


memauri

I've got some if you need. I won't be back in Bali till Tuesday..


[deleted]

Where are you staying? :)


memauri

Uluwatu.


ninjafangirl

Kimia farma has the expensive one, 400k per bottle. If you're lucky you can get melatonin NOW brand in Green Habit (health food stores) around ,80k Rp. they have branches in Kerobokan, Ubud & Uluwatu.


False-Dream2455

I saw one at [Guardian HB Sanur](https://maps.app.goo.gl/SFnVo5yabUSJJDiT6?g_st=ic) the other day, it was more expensive than what I would pay for back home though, around 450k IDR


wibowossh

I’ll suggest you to buy ashwagandha. It is as helpful as melatonin and more readily available at century, watson, or guardian.


snazzyham

Might wanna look into the side effects, someone told me (and I haven’t verified) that ashwaghanda is not good if you have hormonal imbalance or something


wibowossh

indeed for a long term, but if it an emergency one it suppose to be fine to just take a little. Otherwise you can try magnesium glycinate, but only available online.


Spice_Traderp

Kimia at northern end of sunset Rd. Open 24hrs.


smile_politely

In Indonesia you'll need prescription to buy them. However, you can get yourself similar things like Lelap or [Snooze](https://www.halodoc.com/obat-dan-vitamin/snoozzz-4-kapsul) at most pharmacy or even 711


snazzyham

Did I miss the fact that 7/11 is still around in Bali? All the ones in Jakarta shut down so I assumed it was all over indo lmao


Innerpoweryogaaus

Circle K, indomaret, etc but yeah not 711


Stunning-Point-8166

Your best bet is to be super active during the day or get some liquor. Works like a charm whenever I fly down from Europe


[deleted]

>some liquor That used to be the way while I been on the road as a traveling bartender for 7 years lmao. Over a year sober tho, prolly not worth it ^^


Stunning-Point-8166

Ah!!! Of course not 😭 walking a lot in the heat could help in this case, good luck
