"I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry Gettin' stressed, makin' excess mess in darkness No electricity, something's all over me, greasy Insomnia, please release me and let me dream Of makin' mad love to my girl on the heath Tearin' off tights with my teeth But there's no release, no peace I toss and turn without cease Like a curse, open my eyes, rise like yeast. At least a couple of weeks Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers But now I keep myself pep Deeper still, the night I write by candlelight, I find insight Fundamental movement So when it's black This insomnia takin'-original-tack(?) Keep the beast in my nature Under ceaseless attack... I gets no sleep I can't get no sleep"

"My friend recommended these, she said she had 2 and had the best night's sleep ever. I've been struggling to get into a sleep where I'm not thinking all the time, so I thought I would try these. I'm normally in bed by 9 and in the thinking/worrying light sleep. Tonight, again before 9, I've taken 2, it's now 1 am and I'm absolutely wide awake, listening to both my husband and my dog in the deepest of sleeps. Both snoring, my husband grinding his teeth and swinging his legs. I honestly can't believe just how awake I am. I have never been like this, feel like I need to go out for a night on the town. I dread the morning when I've got to go to work... who knows when I will finally sleep."

"I tried Nytol 50mg for the first time to ease insomnia, but so far all it has done is keep me wide awake through the night with uncomfortable headache, dry mouth & throat, and leg pains. I should have just taken a chance with the usual three hours of sleep. Taking Nytol is such a waste and a horrible experience."

"Nytol. Where do I begin? If I could give less than 1, I would. By far the worst thing I ever tried. I suffer from mild insomnia. It takes a long time for me to fall asleep and then I wake most nights 3-4 times, zapping in and out of light sleep. I decided to try these as my mum swears by them. I took it an hour before bed as suggested. About 2 hours later, still awake, the restless legs started. I never suffered with this before. It lasted until 4:30 am. Never have I been so frustrated trying to sleep. I tried again the second night. It was WORSE! What a waste of money, don't bother."

"It is now 02:20 am, having taken a Nytol tablet at 22:15. This is the sixth night I have taken one, so I have given it a good go. I started taking them because I wake frequently during the night and have restless legs, but the Nytol has made things worse. Tonight I haven't slept at all."

"So awful! I never have an issue going to sleep, I just wake up too early. I took these as I had a long journey the next day. I was awake till 3:50 AM, really restless and buzzing! Felt like I was wired on coffee! Woke feeling exhausted and just terrible! They have the opposite effect - I’m throwing the rest in the bin and now have to drive for three hours feeling so awful!"

"I have been using Nytol for 7 days, and it has not worked at all. I suffer from chronic insomnia. Apparently, this product is clinically proven to help sleep? Really? I noticed nothing other than a fuzzy head and dry mouth, and I have been awake all night, the same as usual. Sick of people saying they have something that helps when it is rubbish. The only thing that has worked for me has been prescription meds."

"I had been suffering from insomnia and restless legs, so the doctor gave me a week's course of sleeping tablets, which obviously worked brilliantly. When they were gone, I went back to no sleep all night once again, so I tried Nytol as a last resort. I have taken two an hour before I want to sleep for two days now, and they have absolutely done the trick. I'm surprised, to be honest, because most of the reviews are so poor! They make me feel relaxed, and before I know it, I'm asleep. It's wonderful! I did have a slight headache the next day, but no dry mouth and only very minor drowsiness in the morning. I highly recommend them, and I'm so glad to have found something that works."

"I’m nothing if not fair. I tried Nytol twice, and on both occasions, I actually didn’t sleep at all either night. This is unusual for me, I at least get some sleep, but literally on both occasions, I was up all night. Have binned the rest of the pack. Useless product, waste of money, made my condition worse. If I could give a minus rating, I would."

"I bought these Nytol from Boots, and the man behind the counter, the pharmacist, didn't even ask me any questions. They do work, but I have anxiety and a history of panic attacks. These made me panic because I was going off to sleep, but because I knew it was from the tablet, I panicked and felt out of control. I felt shaky and had two panic attacks. These make you feel very strange in a way that isn't nice. That normal internal chatter you have in your head is cut off, so you are relaxed but feel disconnected from yourself. They make you feel drowsy and not alert. Also gave me diarrhea. So overall, horrible experience."

"I have trouble falling asleep. Took this medication as recommended by the pharmacy. Had terrible side effects. It made me feel like throwing up, gave me horrific nightmares, made my hands feel numb, I was left disoriented and genuinely had me thinking that life was over. Maybe it works for other people, but for me was more harmful."

"I took the tablets at 11 PM and am typing this at 3:19 AM. They seem to have had the opposite effect on me and are keeping me awake. It usually takes me about an hour to get off to sleep, and then I'm up several times in the night, so I thought I would give them a go, but I'm wide awake and feel absolutely alert. Needless to say, I won't be taking any more of them."

"I take Nytol on nights I really can't get to sleep. My experience is that they don't work very fast, but when they do, I sleep pretty soundly. Unfortunately, the result in the morning is that I feel like I have a hangover, and I often sleep through my alarms."

"First off, I read the instructions on the box, which says two things! Firstly, you can take one an hour before you go to bed (mistake), as it won't work that fast and you're even more awake because you're waiting for the effects! Now, the second point they make is much more advisable, where you take one probably around, I would say, 6 PM, as it gives your body much more time to acclimatize to the product. For me, I only took one just before I went to bed, but it's much more of a delayed reaction, so I found that I was quite groggy the next day (mistake). So, it definitely works, and I had a few funny dreams, but who cares? Probably try not to lay in bed too much when night becomes day and get yourself into a good pattern, as you will be trying to overcompensate with Nytol."

"Worked well for me. You have to be tired anyway, so get some exercise, cut some caffeine, and take a Nytol. Maybe they won’t knock you out like a Valium or others, but they give you a gentle push in the right direction. Once you get to sleep, you remain asleep. Well, I did anyway."

"I took Nytol for the first time after months of a lack of sleep and always feeling tired. Worst thing I could have tried. Seems this acts as a stimulant for me, because I couldn’t sleep all night and was wide awake, tossing and turning. Now I’m even more tired. Won’t be trying them again."

"I usually take prescribed medication from the GP, due to constant pain. On asking for medication to sleep from the doctor, she recommended Nytol - got the absolute best night's sleep, the first in a long, long time of never-ending sleepless nights. I think you have to believe the meds are going to work for it to work. I read the reviews about the product being useless. I totally disagree, Nytol Blue suits me fine."

"Absolutely useless - did not help insomnia at all. All I got were nightmares/vivid dreams. Nytol blankly refused to refund cost - their attitude was every one reacts differently. No wonder drug companies make money!"

"Couldn’t believe the effect these things had! Rather than falling asleep, I was irritated, restless, and slept almost zero minutes all night. Never again. Save your money, not only does this product not help you sleep, but achieves the exact opposite!"

"On two separate nights, took 50 mg: slept for 3-4 hours, then wide awake at 3 AM, and mood felt low, not a nice feeling. Tried again on another night and had one of the most horrific nightmares I’ve ever had and haven’t had a nightmare for years before now, rarely ever get them. Now don’t want to sleep as don’t want another nightmare, and mood feels horrible. Won’t take these again."

"Basically, Nytol didn't work and had the opposite effect by keeping me awake, but I had a weird reaction too, as it made me feel fairly sick while I was lying in my bed, and that happened both times I took it. So it's into the bin with these tablets. I would be very cautious about taking this product, as most of the reviews are bad."

"Have trouble getting to sleep and then wake and can’t get back to sleep. Tried Nytol, followed the instructions exactly, and am wide awake at 3 AM, having gone to bed at 11 and not been able to sleep. Worse off than when I don’t take anything. Complete waste of money!"

"Don't use this medicine if you have any history of mental health issues. Took me so long to realize this was making me so mentally ill, I was as close to committing suicide as I ever have been while taking this at a dose of 50 mg. Gave me serious shaking leg syndrome, but that I could deal with. The next day, I was so knocked out I almost didn't feel alive, the worst feeling I have ever had. I am so happy I read about antihistamines and how they affect the brain, they should be illegal. Crazy drug, but hey, someone's making a profit, so oh well! P.S. This is my experience. My mother uses Nytol and has no problem with it whatsoever, so I'm just pointing out to be careful, please."

"Don’t work at all. Have used Ambien and zopiclone in the past to good effect but wanted something more natural, but these had no effect whatsoever. Total waste of money and time, and now can’t take anything else tonight as this is in my system! Would have been better to take one of the others in the first place."

"Have been taking Nytol for 2 weeks now since severe flu knocked my sleep pattern out, having no effect at all, it is absolute rubbish. Don't make me feel sleepy at all, if anything, the opposite - spend many hours awake staring at the clock! Have tried taking one early in the evening and one before bed as advised, still doesn't work... Oh, and they smell funny and taste even worse, they are going in the bin - waste of money."
