The only good thing is once I am asleep, I remain asleep and when I do wake up to turn over I dont toss and turn for hours trying to fall back to sleep. I guess it works ok but for my severe case of insomnia I would prefer something a little stronger. Also it has started to give me headaches, worse than ever and I believe that it has started to trigger migraines for me. Something I will be talking to the doctor about soon to find out if the medicince has something to do with it.

I use generic Unisom and it is cheap and effectice. It helps me go to sleep and sleep all night. I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. I would say one thing, take it earlier than later. It takes effect within 10-15 minutes after ingestion. I LOVE IT!

Side effects included feeling slightly spacey in the following mornigng. Balance and fine motor skills felt as if they were comprimised but weren't. Feelings did not wear off until noontime. I will use only when really sleep deprived in the future.
