For Insomnia "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."

For Insomnia "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."

For Insomnia "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!"

For Insomnia "I took one to help with sleep during a stressful project, and so did my partner. I had the most horrendous nightmares of people committing suicide. Never again I thought. I mentioned to my partner, and he had exactly the same experience. I very rarely, if ever, have bad dreams. This drug is natural Valerian root, which I researched online afterwards, and there are a lot of similar experiences reported. But the side effect is not mentioned in the notes with the drug. It's not a great experience. I'd recommend avoiding it completely."

For Insomnia "It works great for me, it helps me fall asleep. Even if I wake up during the night, I easily fall back asleep quickly. One thing, though: it gives me the weirdest dreams (sometimes they could even be described as nightmares, haha). It’s usually small fears I kind of forgot about or that I never knew I had. It can be quite entertaining and intriguing at times, but besides that, I don’t think I have any other side effects. I feel alright in the morning, and I can finally fall asleep before 1 a.m."
