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

"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."

"I find it works really well keeping me asleep all night. I do have some wild vivid dreams, but not that often. The only downside for me is I am gaining weight."

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

"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 to whoever made Silenor."

"I tried this for two weeks, and yet I never got to sleep on it. I had to try it for two weeks because otherwise, my doctor wouldn't give me anything else."

"Worked very well for the first 2 nights, then made me toss and turn all night the next 5 nights... way worse a night than if I hadn't taken anything. Not worth continuing."
