For Insomnia "Use this quite frequently. Helps me fall asleep fast and stay asleep for about 4 hours before a bathroom break. Occasional bad dreams, but not near as bad or frequent as other sleeping pills. Great price at Costco also."

For Insomnia "I use to wake 4 + times a night with hot flushes. So I started using half a tablet but found I was still waking . For the last 30 nights I've been taking one whole tablet and rarely waking. I get a good 8-10 hours sleep and haven't had one hot flush since taking the tablet. I also have great vivid dreams. I look forward to sleeping now. Some mornings I feel a little washed out but after a coffee I'm good to go."

For Insomnia "I was finding before I took sleep aid from Costco I would fall asleep but could not stay asleep. Now with just one before bedtime (usually 20 to 30 min) I fall asleep, stay asleep and have incredible dreams. Very vivid, sometimes detailed dreams. Best part is, I wake up, and feel great. Sleep is so important. The only reason I am giving it a 9, instead of 10, sometimes I get a little dizzy if I do have to take a night time trip to the BR."

For Insomnia "I've been having problems with going to sleep at night for awhile now and saw unisom advertised on a commercial so I decided to try something for the first time ... I would say it kicked in about a hour after taking it - I still went to bed late just not as late as usual ... I slept the whole night through but in the mornings I would be more tired and still in bed until a little after 1 pm ... Not a morning person but I hate getting up that late after 11 is too late for me but I still be in bed tired - So that's my only problem!"

For Insomnia "I think they are great. I have anxiety and depression, which makes it hard to sleep. These relax me and make me tired, within less than an hour of taking one tablet, I'm asleep."

For Insomnia "Works okay. I do not get the same 'restless leg' issues with this as I have with other over-the-counter pain medicines."

For Insomnia "I have taken half a tablet of doxylamine succinate (Sleep Aid), in the evening, for about 3 years now. I originally took it for migraines, but discovered quickly how it made me very drowsy after about 2 hours. It has NEVER failed to work. Taking a whole tablet made me sleep for 10-12 hours, now I get my 8 hours every night with half the dose. It is one of the safest antihistamines on the market. I experimented a few months ago by not taking one, and I couldn't get to sleep, plus I got restless legs. So now I take it every night."
