"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."
