Silenor (doxepin): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): 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): Worked very well for me. I have been taking other sleep medications but this one is by far the best. Going to buy 3mg pack.

Silenor (doxepin): Works well. I get used to medications though so we will see how effective it is in a few months. At least addiction isn't an issue.

Silenor (doxepin): Had success getting 8 hours of sleep. My wife had to wake me the next day. I haven't slept like that in years. College maybe? I'm telling my friends and family about this medicine.

Silenor (doxepin): I've been on Lunesta for 3 years and would sleep 8 hours exactly every night..Cost went to $125 a month (New Insurance) and then switched to Ambien but only slept 4-5 hours a night. Tried Silenor for the first time last night and slept almost 11 hours.

Silenor (doxepin): I took Silenor 6 mg and slept like a rock but had a terrible time getting going the next morning. Although I drank coffee I still felt groggy and in a light daze well past noon. Going to try cutting it in half to 3 mg and see if it works without the groggyness.
