Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have a hard time staying asleep. This drug has worked wonders. I sleep through the night and no hangover effects like I experienced with Ambien. I wake up refreshed and ready to start a new day.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have used all known sleepers and other off label medicines for sleepers and I have taken Silenor 6 mg for 3 nights. It is amazing. I fall asleep with no problems and stay asleep for 7-8 hours. No hang over or other side effects. I had been taking Remeron 60mg for sleep, as it was the best of all I had tried. I thought the Remeron was doing an okay job until I tried the Silenor. I am thrilled and feel more rested then I have in years.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have been using Ambien for years for sleep maintenance. I tried Silenor over the last week and it's been fantastic! I don't have any side effects whatsoever in the morning. Slept 7 hours straight every time I took it.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I never felt better when I woke up. Straight 7 hours 45 min sleep. If I am not mistaken this is the first time since 2002 for that much and straight sleeping. Thanks who ever made Silenor.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I was skeptical since I have tried every possible remedy out there. I was simply amazed that I actually have been sleeping 7 to 8 hours straight without any nasty morning hangover like I had experienced with the others. I can't believe that I could actually take this every night. No addiction!

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: Got a sample and tried it last night. Slept for 6 hours straight, bathroom break then back to sleep for another hour. No side effects waking up. Felt great...really liked it. If you have trouble staying asleep more than 3-4 hours, suggest you try it!

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: So far, so good. I have earlier morning wake up, probably related to a mood disorder. Unlike the addictive medicines that cause worsening of depression, so far Silenor, that has its roots as an antidepressant, allows me to get a little more shut eye without worsening of my depression symptoms.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have tried both Ambien and Lunesta and they messed me up the next day, felt real groggy. Heard about Silenor and got some prescribed, so far so good.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: Tried this medicine and it was amazing. Slept right through the night and woke refreshed with no side effects. Best thing I did was ask my Doctor for Silenor.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have suffered from lack of sleep for many years and have tried most things on the market and even herbal infusions. Silenor gave me solid sleep with no side effects or that heavy awful feeling of being drugged. I hope other sufferers will have the chance of restful sleep.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have taken Silenor 4 times over the last 10 days as needed. I tried a little Doxepin twice before and pure Doxepin gave me a headache and hangover groggy effect. Silenor allows me to get 8 hours of sleep with NO side effects yay! It's a great medicine....finally. If you have trouble sleeping then you should try it.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: Silenor is a great medication (I tried many) with no side effects or a feeling of dizziness the next morning, that is usual for most of insomnia drugs that I was on.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I had been using Ambien for years but gradually developed a tolerance to this medication. I was also frustrated with the frequency of waking during the night. My GP prescripted 6.0 Silenor tablets about two weeks ago and thus far, I am very pleased with the effect on sleep maintenance.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I have been using 3MG Silenor for a week now. First thing I noticed were dreams have seemed more vivid. The other was wakening early (4:00 - 5:00) and getting up for the bathroom and then attempting to go back to sleep. I have thought that I stayed awake but the next time I looked at the clock it was 7:00 or later. I am now getting 8 hours or even more sleep some days. When I awake I want a cup of coffee right away. As soon as I have it I feel good and that continues for the rest of the day. I never took the other sleep medicines as I have a sleep maintenance problem only. This is a great medicine and I would highly recommend it. I am a 64 year old male who is in good health otherwise.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I took Lunesta only for a few days because it gave me unpleasant taste. It was really bad. Then I switched to Ambien. It was better than Lunesta, but there was a residual effect that the medicine made me irritable and anxious next morning. My doctor gave me Silenor. It is better than Ambien CR. I do not feel anxious or irritable next morning and I can sleep 8 hours. The only side effect, though very minor, is that it makes me sluggish a little. But, overall, Silenor is better than Ambien CR.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: I pleasantly surprised! Have been sleeping well. About 8 hours or so. No hangover in the morning which is good. I take it maybe a few times per week. My doctor said that's okay since no addictive potential.

Silenor (doxepin) for Insomnia: Just tried Silenor at the 6 mg dose and it works great for me. I didn't think there was an alternative for treatment of insomnia until my doctor told me. I have been on the others and did not do me any good. Those would include Ambien and Lunesta. I just want to sleep and now finally I can.

Silenor (doxepin): This was the 1st night in months I actually slept 8-9 hours. Took this little pill at midnight. Actually, woke up at 5 am due to pain in left knee area due to previous medial/lateral meniscus tear. Had arthroscopic surgery approximately 2 months ago but still painful especially at night. Doctor claims pain is due to arthritis so I sleep with a moist heating pad wrapped around the knee to ease the pain. After waking at approx 5 am, re-wrapped the heating pad around knee and fell back to sleep within minutes. I've never been able to return to sleep in the past. I used to walk the floors after sleeping 3-4 hrs. Slept until 9:30 this morning.
