For Insomnia "Diphenhydramine is a fantastic sleep aid, but you need to follow the dosage very, very carefully. I've struggled with insomnia since basically puberty, and a few years back I began taking ZzzQuil daily. I slowly grew a tolerance to it and increased my dosage eventually to 100 mg. One night I was so fed up with tossing and turning, I took another 100 mg (I was 19, OK?). An hour later I was watching the walls ripple like the surface of a pond, little black dots crawling up the walls here and there, and full-blown auditory hallucinations. (I.e., I heard orchestra music coming from the bathroom vent fan amidst its hum). I felt like my body was made of lead and was horribly lethargic. Still, after tossing and turning for hours, I eventually made it to sleep and felt as if I was awake the entire time. My roommate said I talked in my sleep the entire duration of my slumber, and my dreams were very vivid and unsettling. I felt like a train wreck the next day until I could finally go home and sleep."

For Insomnia "Tried this for the first time, and never again. I had the worst case of anxiety and restless leg syndrome that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Woke up tired from being up more than if I didn’t take it. On top of that, horrible dreams as well."

For Insomnia "This made me wake up every 2 hours all night, and I am always overly exhausted the next day, not worth it."
