For Insomnia "I've taken other prescription sleep medications in the past, but they do tend to make you drowsy and have all sorts of side effects. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, and the pain stops me from sleeping. I now take this at bedtime with a small dose of prescribed codeine. Between the painkillers and the 'sleep' effect of the Tylenol, I truly can't believe how well I am sleeping! Just be aware that this can really make you fall asleep fast, so do be ready for bed. I've spoken to four other people who have various pain problems, and they all love this medication too."

For Insomnia "I really like this pill, besides the fact that I sleep all day. I take the pill every few days at about 12, when I'm not tired, and 15 minutes later I become drowsy. About 30 minutes after that, I'm asleep, but I tend to sleep really late. I don't hear my alarms, and I can't get myself out of bed. If you do take this, I would consider taking it earlier than you normally would. Other than that, this pill is the best I have found and works great, just like it says."

For Insomnia "I just started working third shift and use this when I get home to fall asleep. It works great, and I get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I don’t seem to wake up super groggy either. I am 21 years old, so this may be the reason."

For Insomnia "Works great for pain and awesome for sleep! I haven’t the slightest idea how anyone can say this doesn’t help as a sleep aid…and I never feel groggy in the am. I take it 15 minutes before I close my eyes."

For Insomnia "This stuff keeps me awake and feels pretty groggy in the mornings, especially when I take 2 tablets. All using with good results, take 1 or 2 tablets at bedtime?"
