For Insomnia "I was given a sample pack of 3 mg Silenor to help with my inability to stay asleep. I followed the instructions, and unfortunately, it did not seem to work for me. It made me very anxious and agitated during the night. I did sleep but kept waking up. In the morning, I was very groggy and unsteady on my feet. I felt like I had been drugged and had a minor headache all day. I do not think I will take it again, as it is obviously not the drug for me."

For Insomnia "I took Lunesta only for a few days because it gave me an unpleasant taste. It was really bad. Then I switched to Ambien. It was better than Lunesta, but there was a residual effect that the medicine made me irritable and anxious the next morning. My doctor gave me Silenor. It is better than Ambien CR. I do not feel anxious or irritable the next morning and I can sleep 8 hours. The only side effect, though very minor, is that it makes me a little sluggish. But overall, Silenor is better than Ambien CR."

For Insomnia "I tried the 3 mg dose last night. I slept worse than when I take nothing. I felt so agitated and miserable. Tossed and turned all night. Will not take it again!"
