For Insomnia "I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant. I've been having some trouble sleeping, so I decided to take Unisom. I've never felt so restless in my life! I'm wide awake, dry mouth, awful taste in my mouth. I think it had the opposite effect on me. I feel sleepy but just cannot fall asleep. Very frustrating, gonna have to find another solution."

For Insomnia "I've always had a hard time falling and staying asleep. Seems like I've tried everything, including meditation, sleep noise apps, music, melatonin, making the room freezing, warming the room up, and reducing caffeine and stimulants before bed. Bought some Unisom to see if it would help. Taking as directed, 1 pill at bedtime. Still takes me a good hour of tossing and turning, and then I'm awake every hour or two all night and wake up with a dry mouth. Maybe I'll go back to 10 mg melatonin because that seemed to work best."

For Insomnia "Used as directed to help me get to sleep, took the gel pill, made me even more awake. Tried the other Unisom with the other sleep aid medication, just made me dizzy, with dry mouth, and kept me awake. These are a joke!!!!!"
