For Insomnia "I really like Unisom SleepGels. I work at night, so sometimes I have difficulty sleeping in the mornings. They help me get the sleep I need, with no grogginess. And I only take them when I'm too hyped up to go to sleep, but I need to sleep."

For Insomnia "I love Unisom SleepGels. I can't go to sleep and then can't stay asleep. This has fixed that with no grogginess next morning, no matter if you sleep 4 or 5 hours or 8 or 9 hours and feel the same. No hallucinations or anything. Best yet, it's over the counter and cheap."

For Insomnia "At first, I thought I found the perfect drug, I slept finally! But the side effects are pretty much there. (Dizzy, blurred vision, strange emotions, anxiety), and after every use, they are getting stronger."

For Insomnia "Little (minuscule) help with insomnia, but bad, bad side effects. In the morning, very tired, groggy, not able to function normally. The morning feels like I am recovering from some illness. The worst sleep medicine ever!!!!"

For Insomnia "Started taking these Unisom SleepGels a year ago. Very effective. I was taking them only Sunday night through Thursday night. I noticed I was getting very nauseous on the weekends and couldn’t pinpoint why. I felt amazing throughout the week. Horrible on weekends. Found out it was because I wasn’t taking them on weekends. Now I have to take them every night. I am very worried it will get me sick. But the nausea is so bad."

For Insomnia "This medication works well if taken as directed for your insomnia and for no longer than about 1 month. I began taking 1-50 mg twice a week, which worked very well, but I continued to increase the dosage every 2 weeks. It did make me tired enough to fall right to sleep after about 45 minutes of taking it and with no drowsiness the following morning."

For Insomnia "I've taken two 50 mg pills, and I am wide awake. Other sleeping medications have done a way better job, but they eventually stopped working, which is why I switched brands to see if it’d help. I feel like I wasted money."

For Insomnia "I have extreme insomnia, and I've taken everything that's supposed to help you sleep since I was 14 years old. Please see a professional for your insomnia because OTC sleep aids don't work most of the time, and you can do damage to your internal organs by taking more and more. Lunesta, BEST EVER!"

For Insomnia "Helps me fall asleep fast, but the side effects are insane. I usually get around 7 hours of sleep, and every time I take this pill, it makes me feel super dizzy and weird in the morning. Also, one day in class, I either experienced micro sleep or passed out for a solid 2 seconds, but it was scary, and I’m almost positive it was due to this softgel pill."

For Insomnia "Tried this after my new doctor took me off of Ambien that I'd been on for 3 1/2 years by a sleep doctor for my insomnia. I can stay wide awake for up to 48 hours, and then if I do fall asleep, I only get between 2-6 hours of sleep. New doctor thinks I'm depressed, but I'm far from that and keeps wanting to put me on depression medicine! Called the sleep doctor back in Iowa to tell the new doctor here in Louisiana that I have insomnia, which she did, but the new doctor doesn't believe the sleep specialist!"
