"Helped with my insomnia 100% until they pulled it off the market. Many thanks to the manufacturer! I had used this medicine for such a long time. I never could sleep before taking this, and I still now watch the time go by."

"This is the only medication that has worked for me. It is dependable for the long term. The FDA had no good reason to 'discontinue' this 140-year-old safe, effective medication. I have not had a good moment of sleep for the last six+ weeks."

"I am an addict and suffer from anxiety and insomnia. This was the only medicine that is not a benzodiazepine that has worked for me. It allows me to fall asleep - not pass out and wake up feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend it."

"Good sleep with minimal side effects. It has been many, many years since I have slept this good. Insurance does not want to pay because there are newer, better medications out there. Not so for me."

"I am the primary caregiver for my son who has a brain injury. He has severe insomnia, and chloral hydrate syrup and, more recently, chloral hydrate gelcaps (Somnote) have been a blessing! It has been safe and effective for him for many years. I hope and pray the powers that be will reconsider the decision to discontinue manufacturing this medicine. It is our salvation for sleep, not only for my son but for the rest of our household."
