For Insomnia "I tried Nytol 50mg for the first time to ease insomnia, but so far all it has done is keep me wide awake through the night with uncomfortable headache, dry mouth & throat, and leg pains. I should have just taken a chance with the usual three hours of sleep. Taking Nytol is such a waste and a horrible experience."

For Insomnia "I have been using Nytol for 7 days, and it has not worked at all. I suffer from chronic insomnia. Apparently, this product is clinically proven to help sleep? Really? I noticed nothing other than a fuzzy head and dry mouth, and I have been awake all night, the same as usual. Sick of people saying they have something that helps when it is rubbish. The only thing that has worked for me has been prescription meds."

For Insomnia "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 it again."

For Insomnia "Took 1 last night Nytol tablet 1 hour before bed. Mild sedative-like effect, but fell asleep okay. Next morning, I felt more tired at work than I did in bed, haha :) Plus dry mouth, and luckily avoided a headache by drinking water!"

For Insomnia "In the beginning, they worked well. Took whenever I felt the need, and it knocked me out. But after the pandemic, they don’t work at all, exactly the opposite, actually. They now make me feel wide awake. So alert that even my eyes feel fresh and awake before I’ve even slept. Having to get up at 6 am for work really doesn’t help, either. Today, I took a Nytol at 11 pm, and it’s now 4 am and I haven’t slept. I’m googling “does Nytol make me feel awake,” and it seems a lot of people react the same to it. Reading these reviews is useful because I know I’m not alone! Dry mouth, fuzzy headache, muscle cramps (from staying awake and trying to stay still), and thumping heart. I just wish I knew what the solution is. I have tried going to the docs, but they are reluctant to prescribe anything, so I’m stuck in limbo. If anyone knows any over-the-counter alternatives, please tell me!"

For Insomnia "I was very stressed due to work commitments and was not sleeping at night, constantly thinking about work. I took 1 tablet 2 hours before going to sleep, and I got the best sleep. I highly recommend. Strange how the reviews are so bad. What I can say is you do wake up feeling a bit groggy, but it does subside after about an hour, and it makes my mouth feel very dry, but I will be continuing to take it as I’m getting a really good night's sleep."

For Insomnia "Bought these out of desperation, after a week of no sleep at all. Took longer to work than 20 mins, but I finally managed to get a decent rest last night. Woke up with a dry mouth, but on the whole, feeling pretty good."

For Insomnia "Use this regularly to help with my irregular work shift patterns. I take 100 mg, and within 40 minutes, I start to feel drowsy enough to sleep. Yes, it gives a dry mouth and some fogginess in the morning at times, but this brand is well worth using for insomnia. Outcome may vary for others."
