For Insomnia "Silenor was a nightmare for me. I stuck with it for about 3 weeks and thought I was going out of my mind. I did not sleep at all for the first 4 days, and then the hallucinations began. If I did sleep, it was only for about 30 minutes at a time, and then the terrible nightmares kept me awake for the rest of the night."

For Insomnia "Used to take Ambien, but side effects were starting to drive me nuts. Nightmares, almost depressed when waking up. Silenor really saved me. Incredible feeling, like normal sleep. No side effects at all in my case. I'm surprised it's not more promoted."

For Insomnia "I was given samples of Silenor, and I've been taking it for about two weeks. My problem is not only that I can't sleep for more than 2 hours straight, but it also takes around 3 hours to fall asleep. Anyway, I noticed that I was getting a lot of terrible nightmares right away with the Silenor. As someone who hardly ever even remembers her dreams, the nightmares were quite obviously related to the medicine. Also, the Silenor didn't help me fall asleep/stay asleep at all. My doctor switched me to Ambien, and I'm trying that for the first time tonight. Most of you had a bad experience with Ambien and are loving the Silenor, so I'm not sure how this will work out."

For Insomnia "The vivid nightmares and feeling like sleeping all the next day made me not try it a second time. I think it’s possible because I am so sleep deprived. If I took it on a Friday night, I could laze around all weekend and maybe get back to feeling normal."
