Takes me 3 hours to get drows, but that's probably just me. If you want a prescription you'll need the permission of a doctor to treat your insomnia if you've got it. And yes, people do try to commit suicide by swallowing a whole bottle of pills. It takes a lot (sort of, I don't know how many exactly) to kill one person though. Only people with the intent on OD'ing OD. You'll be all right taking two pills to cure a night of sleeplessness. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]

Prescriptions are harder to get because your doctor may not always give you medicine, & if they did, you'd have to wait for it to be given to you. You can take tylenol whenever you want.
It is possible to OD on those medicines, yes. But it's possible to OD on all medicine, but they can't just stop selling them because someone died. That isn't the companies fault. That's the persons fault.
