"This pill literally does not work, I tried taking one every night believing that it would work and nothing happened, got 3hrs on a good night. Then I upped it to 2 per night then 3 and after a few weeks still nothing! Nytol is so useless its unbelievable. Absolute waste of time."

"Have trouble getting to sleep and then wake and can’t get back to sleep. Tried Nytol, followed the instructions exactly and am wide awake at 3am, having gone to bed at 11 and not been able to sleep. Worse off than when I don’t take anything. Complete waste of money!"

"Nytol did not help my insomnia. A waste of money. I don't know how the company dares to make the claims it does in its adverts in the UK. The problem with the product, has a warning that it may make you feel drowsy - If only it did"

"A complete waste of money. I have had recent sleep problems so thought this would be a solution. It had no effect whatsoever apart from causing a headache. This made the dire warnings I got from the pharmacist when I bought it about long term usage and dependency completely laughable. I considering returning the garbage to them and demanding my money back."

"Been experiencing insomnia 2 weeks after stopping smoking weed, tried meditation, mitrazapine, chamomile tea, yoga now nytol. I took one 50mg as stated and still wide awake 2 hours later - no good! Anyone know of anything else to try. My dr is useless and won't give me sleep tabs although I had previously had diazapam and zopiclone and they were the best."

"I've used nytol one a night before and it's been extremely effective short time. However I've used it recently and had the most disturbing effects. Awful repetitive dreams... Waking me scared after 2 hours. Getting up then my vision was let's say very distorted with all I can was that if I looked in an empty coffee cup it looked like thousands of tiny flies were buzzing around in it. I used it the next night with exactly the same effect so I will never use it again.. Would rather go without sleep!!!"

"I went on a trip away and the change of environment i.e. sleeping in a different room and change of bed made it very difficult for me to sleep - I had 3 hours sleep for 2 nights running so decided I needed to do something about it. I tried Nytol and it made me sleep an average of 8 hours so worked really well. The only downside is the 'fuzzy' head feeling the next day and feeling spaced out. However, for a short-term solution when you need to get back into a good sleep rhythm, I would highly recommend it. Not for taking long-term though."

"I have just about tried every potion, lotion & tablet to find a cure for my insomnia. Nytol was probably my last hope. I paid £11.99 for a bottle at my local pharmacy, I can honestly say it's £11.99 wasted. Utterly useless I would have been better off with a glass of hot milk. I'm typing this at 4.am after yet another sleepless night. I've now given up and just accepted the fact that I will never get a decent nights sleep."

"Been suffering with insomnia after losing my Dad recently and this whole pandemic. I have to say Nytol have worked really well for me. No side effects, takes about 20-40 mins to start to relax and drift off. Once asleep I’ve slept through unless interrupted by the cat or kids (they’re teenagers). I feel like I’m getting decent quality deep sleep which I haven’t for a while so I’m pleased with that. It’s given me the energy to train the next day which we all know is the best therapy"

"I decided to try these after a period of either not being able to sleep or waking up and not getting back to sleep. Having read quite scary side effects of prescription sleeping tablets I thought I'd try these first. So... I did drift off to sleep around 30-40 mins after taking a tablet. I woke up in the night to go to the bathroom but did get back to sleep much faster than usual. The downside was feeling spaced out (bit like a hangover) until lunchtime the next day! I'd not take them if I had an early start or important meeting. I'd recommend trying them but don't expect anything amazing. If your sleep issues are acute due to a trauma etc then I'd suggest these wouldn't work sufficiently."

"I took one to help with sleep during a stressful project and so did my partner. I had the most horrendous nightmares of people committing suicide. Never again I thought. I mentioned to my partner and he had exactly the same experience. I very rarely if ever have bad dreams. This drug is natural Valerian root which I researched online afterwards and there is a lot of similar experiences reported. But the side effect is not mentioned in the notes with the drug. Its not a great experience. I'd recommend avoiding it completely."

"I frequently have very poor sleep and spend most of my days exhausted. Nytol is a lifesaver for me! I take a 50 mg tablet an hour before I want to be asleep and within 45 minutes I am really sleepy. I then have a good nights sleep, wake up feeling so much better and it works every time! I don’t take it more than a couple of nights in a row and have at least a week between those two nights as I worry about it becoming a habit but I can honestly say it doesn’t seem to have any adverse effects at all. It’s a game changer for me and my quality of life."

"I took these every night for a week after struggling with insomnia, hate the groggy feeling sleeping tablets give you the next day so thought I'd give these ago. Worked perfectly with no side effects. Went away for the weekend and forgot to take them with me. First night, didn't sleep at all, second night finally drifted off sometime after 7.30am and was woke at 9.45, last night got about an hour to 2 hours. Was absolutely done in, got home and that night took a nytol and slept like a baby. My fear is can I survive without these tablets now. Hopefully they keep working so I don't need too."

"I used to use Nytol a fair amount at uni but then stopped for about 2 years. I recently tried it again and I have had a horrible night. Dry mouth and restlessness accompanied by severe anxiety, but nothing else. I have been trying for a few hours to get to sleep and alas, nothing. I won’t be taking again"

"Totally ineffective, makes me wake every hour at 12am, 1am, 2am, onwards. Still takes me about 90 mins to get to sleep. weird uncomfortable nightmares, feel like by the end of it I’m only getting about 3 hours decent sleep! I would rather take quetiapine"

"I needed something to get me back into a good sleep pattern. I read the reviews which I found really useful. I decided to start off with one 25mg tablet (even though the box recommended two) and see how it went. I chose a night when I wasn't working the next day. I did get to sleep quicker than I have recently and, even though I got up twice for the toilet, I didn't wake up until 9am; my body clock is really good and I usually wake up at 6.30am working or not! I didn't feel any worse the following day. I will try the recommended two 25mg tablets next time and see how it goes. I will definitely be recommending them and taking them again until the stress eases an I am feeling more rested in the mornings."

"I tried 50mg Nytol a few times a few months ago. I didn't have a great experience with it, I woke up a few times during the night and felt awful the next day, very groggy. After 2 or 3 nights I stopped using it. However, I read a review of someone saying they used the 25g tablets and had a better experience trying the lower dose. I tried half a tablet and had a much better experience. I got to sleep quite easily (I took it around an hour before going to bed), woke a little during the night, but only to go to the bathroom, and woke up feeling fine. No groggy feelings the next day, I'm going to continue with half tablets and see if this continues!"

"On two separate nights took 50mg: slept for 3-4 hours then wide awake at 3am and mood felt low, not a nice feeling. Tried again on another night and had one of the most horrific nightmares I’ve ever had and haven’t had a nightmare for years before now, rarely ever get them, now don’t want to sleep as don’t want another nightmare and mood feels horrible. Won’t take these again."

"When taking Nytol I experienced a lot of drowsiness and got to sleep fairly quickly however it seems to "wear off" and cause me to wake up in the middle of the night every time I have taken it. It also seems to cause tiredness in the day. I wouldn't take this again"

"Struggled to stay asleep since breast cancer and treatment a year ago. Read the reviews and thought I’d give them a go. Complete waste of money. Taken 2 the last couple of nights and still no sleep. Save your money don’t bother buying these."

"OMG! I am going through a divorce and haven’t slept properly for two years waking at 4 or 5am every morning and unable to go back to sleep. I took a HALF a Nytol at 8pm (early as recommended by some reviewers) and slept through for 9 hours! I feel like a different person. My Fitbit indicates I got one hour twenty minutes deep sleep which is great. I’m delighted."

"I have tried Nytol one at night and the caramel liquid. Both were equally ineffective and although they made me drowsy I didn’t fall asleep on any occasion. As a side effect both made me feel sick. If I could give 0 stars I would. I wouldn’t recommend. The vast majority of reviews for these products are very poor. Save your money."

"It has stopped me waking in the night worrying about things and I do feel more relaxed the next day. Not drowsy like I thought it would. It doesn’t feel intense when take it but it does to the job and doesn’t make me feel groggy in the morning. I would really recommend it if you need a long sleep with no interruptions"

"I took this for sleeplessness caused my anxiety. Personally I found that nytol knocked me out and kept me asleep which was great because I needed the sleep but the next morning each time I would wake up and lose my balance and felt faint and lethargic the whole next day after taking them alongside with aches and pains all along my body and heart palpitations"
