For Insomnia "Crappy experience. Took one 30 minutes before bed, then another in 30 minutes, then at 12 am took another, then at 2 am took one more. Finally slept for few hours around 2:30 am. The hang over was from Zero sleep, I'm afraid Nighttime Advil kicks so much better than this crap. Thanks for nothing Doc"

For Insomnia "I work nights and have to sleep days so I've been taking Silenor 3 mg for about 16 months. It worked great the first 8 months but now it's not doing anything anymore. Even if I take 2 pills, it doesn't work."

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."

For Insomnia "Give your body a few days to adapt to it. Then, no more side effects and works like a charm. Strongly recommend."

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."
