These literally knock you the heck out!
Iâve been purchasing these sleep tablets for about 3 years and theyâre the best over the counter sleep supplement known to mankind. Be sure you have at least 7 hours to dedicate to sleep to prevent being groggy when you wake up. Affordable, easy to take, long lasting and WORKS WONDERS. Highly, HIGHLY, would recommend to anyone struggling with getting and staying asleep.

This stuff truly works !
I was on Ambien 10mg for 12 years. I built up a tolerance to it and it no longer worked for me, plus it was just a really bad medication. This stuff has worked wonderfully. So much better than anything Iâve ever taken. I actually rest and feel a lot better the next day. If you are having doubts, try it ! You canât beat the price, Iâve had great results !

Next day grogginess is an important consideration
Strong antihistamine for sleep. Fair warning that this leaves me very groggy the next day so I reserve it for times I really want extra sleep.

Works like a charm!
I have trouble sleeping. Like, SERIOUS trouble sleeping, and itâs been a lifelong problem for me. No matter how tired I am, it doesnât equate into good sleep. Iâve tried everything that I could think of: home remedies, relaxation techniques, strict routines, melatonin, chamomile tea, diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and finally prescriptions.
As a young adult, I thought Iâd found the answer to my frustration of years of insomnia when my family doctor, whom Iâd been a patient of for nearly a decade and knew of my struggles, suggested the then-newly released prescription beginning with the letter A and which rhymes with shmambien ;-). Although it worked pretty darned well at first, it caused some bizarre side effects like âsleep eatingâ (youâre not truly asleep, but not really awake either, and with an insatiable appetite and no real memory of it the next day). Another huge problem was amnesia if I happened to stay up past when the medicine kicked in. It was like flipping a switchâanything that I said or did after that moment was something that I would be oblivious to the following morning. The big downside was, like most people, I quickly built a tolerance which rendered it FAR less effective. My doctor said that was a very common problem with âshmambienâ and switched me to a different newly released prescription starting with the letter L, and he which rhymes with tunesta ;-). Not only was it far less effective than the A prescription, but oh manâoh, I wasnât prepared for one specific side effect. The following morning, I wondered what on earth I had âsleep eatenâ the night before. I had the worst metallic taste in my mouth that I was convinced Iâd somehow decided to store my spare change under my tongue for safekeeping. Yuck. Now I understood why the medicineâs commercials at that time featured Abraham Lincolnâit was because you feel like youâve been using pennies as a replacement for a Wertherâs Original.
Once I read about doxylamine succinate and that it was considered to be the strongest over-the-counter sleep aid, I knew I needed to try it. I bought the name brand and the generic store brands and found that it consistently works very well for me and I have never once noticed a decrease in efficacy.
I noticed that it can be hit or miss as far as finding it in the big box store as it tends to sell out quickly. After a cross-country move, I had some difficulty finding it in my local stores, so of course I looked to Amazon.
I have purchased this brand about 6 or 7 times and I have been very pleased. The medicine looks exactly the same as the other brands Iâve used (I suspect that they are all manufactured in the same place) and it works just like the name brand and other store, generic, or private labeled brands of doxylamine succinate that Iâve used. I am very happy and will continue to purchase this on a regular basis as the price is excellent. Iâve now been taking it almost nightly since 2014 and I donât feel unusually tired the next day, Iâve built absolutely no tolerance, I never say things of which I have no memory, I donât sleep-eat, and I donât have a bitter metallic taste in my mouth. I highly recommend this. It makes me feel better that this medicine has been around since about 1949 and is a first generation antihistamine. My doctor knows that I take it nightly and has no problem with it. I wish Iâd known about it sooner.

Super works!
Works very well , but do not take the entire pill , for me an 8th of the pill works just right where I can wake up feeling good to normal, again it does the job, just watch your dosage!

They work
But the packaging is horrible, you need a medical degree and a pair scissors to open the little pill packs. They are horrible to get into

Good value medicine
I started using unisom while pregnant. I would take 1/2 a tablet at night. It helped me get necessary rest. My husband will take unisom 1-4 times a week. He also only takes 1/2 a tablet and it works well for him. This is a great value medicine for the name brand unisom. Exactly the same ingredients.

It works! Almost too well!
This product definitely worked for me. I took it at 9 PM and was knocked out by 11 PM and slept all the way through until 9 AM the following morning. I did notice that while I got a really good sleep I did wake up feeling a little bit groggy. So maybe I need to cut the dosage in half. I am 130 pounds, and 5 foot five. I will be using this intermittently and not daily because the grogginess was a little bit too much for me. But if I needed to just get a solid night sleep with no interruptions, this will be my go to.
