UnisomSleepTabs, Nighttime Sleep-aid, Doxylamine Succinate, 48 Tablets

I had insomnia during pregnancy, and my midwife said these were safe to take. I am not licensed to say you should take if you're pregnant, please ask your provider first. I would only take half a tablet though and knock out didn't feel extremely groggy like melatonin in the morning. But that's because I would only take half. I did have some crazy dreams though

I'm one of those weird people that diphenhydramine doesn't make sleepy at all; in fact, it makes me feel wired. Many OTC sleep meds use diphenhydramine as the active ingredient. This type of Unisom, which instead uses doxylamine, works like a charm for me. When I take it I do have to make sure I have at least eight hours to devote to sleep. Otherwise I'll be groggy until it wears off. (i.e. don't take it at one am and expect to be awake and alert at six.)

These sleep tabs work well. After trying a whole pill, which definitely put me to sleep but left me too groggy the next day, I have been using one half which is my sweet spot. I work in IT and can't go to work groggy. I was on these many years ago and know that you develop tolerance quickly so I plan to stop in a few weeks (temporarily) and use CBN (not CBD) which also works well for me. Then I will go back to Unisom. I have been drinking camomille tea at night which also has sedative properties. These pills work so well . . . I wish they didn't cause tolerance but oh well. Side note: Unisom works better than Ambien, which I took for years. Again, oh well.

My husband’s doctor recommended it. I work in the medical field and had never heard of it. I’m also on night shift and can have trouble falling asleep when I need to. It kicks in really quick. Be prepared for some intense dreams! I do not take other sleeping meds so may be more sensitive. Only downside similar to any other sleeping meds is feeling groggy for a few hours after waking up. I do not take this on a daily basis but great to know I have a non prescription option!

Whenever I've been sick and taken Nyquil, it has always made me drowsy and easily fall asleep. Sometimes, I have an extremely difficult time falling asleep, mainly during the work week. This contains the active ingredient in Nyquil that makes one drowsy, Doxylamine succinate.Unisom also makes gel tabs which contain the active ingredient in Tylenol PM which makes one drowsy, Diphenhydramine.I would recommend this Sleeptab over the gel tab, based on slightly less toxicity to oneself.This pill works excellently to induce drowsiness and help one go to sleep. I took a full pill the first night, and I woke up extremely drowsy. I drove into work in this state, which was not smart. I felt like a zombie all morning. I was extremely drowsy until lunch time.I would recommend what others have said, which is to take half a pill for starting out. Half a pill is all I need to get decent sleep for those nights where it's difficult to fall asleep and wake up functioning. Starting out with a full pill if you've never taken these before and have to be somewhere early in the morning is asking for trouble.These tabs even have a line down the middle as though they are meant to be halved. $10 for 96 days of help getting to sleep if needbe, is not a bad deal.If Nyquil makes you sleepy and you need help getting to sleep sometimes, order yourself a box of these.If Tylenol PM makes you sleepy, try the gel pills that Unisom offers.I would recommend taking half a pill approximately an hour before you wish to fall asleep. If you feel that half a pill isn't working, try a full pill, but beware of feeling extremely drowsy in the morning. These pills contain more Doxylamine succinate than your typical dose of Nyquil. Nyquil typically contains 6.25 mg of Doxylamine succinate per dose while these pills contain 25 mg Doxylamine succinate per pill. That's 4x as much as a standard Nyquil dose, thus why I and other users recommend half a pill.

I have insomnia from last several years and I have been on highest dose of ambien to get maximum of 4 to 6 hours sleep.I tried melatonin 5 mg from various different brands while they do help but I would get nightmares till my body got use to it which took about 6 months I would have difficulty waking up with melatonin and be drowsy in the morning until strong cup of coffee.My wife brought these from target for me when she couldn’t locate melatonin in store and boy I have been doing it wrong all these past years, i only take half of this pill and it puts me to sleep even if I am force myself to finish a Netflix show. Another awesome fact about this medicine is that it’s not addicting unlike some other brands.After trying the small quantity from Kroger I started ordering directly from amazon. I am no longer using Ambien(zolpidem) or melatonin. Just half of this pill and boom within 30 minutes I knock out, don’t have issues going back to sleep after waking up in middle of night and best part fresh feeling upon waking up after about 5 to 6 hour sleep with no headache or hangover that I would usually get from Ambien and some other brands I tried.If anyone here reading this review with difficulty falling sleep, staying sleep or even difficulty waking up, I would recommend to try this product, you won’t regret it.I have tried so many different medicines besides the once I mentioned above but all of them gave me some kind of side effect in the morning or didn’t work as intended to.I also track my sleep using Apple Watch to check deep sleep analysis and all the other facts, my deep sleep has improved tremendously and along with that my day time affectivity has risen tremendously, my metabolism has improved and so much more.I am so glad I was introduced to this medicine, with restful sleep.

I take only 1/2 of a tablet and they do work well. I sleep much better which is a blessing. That said, brain fog ensues until I get a good workout and sweat it out. Its effective, but like most meds, has side effects.

At first I had a bad experience, because it made be groggy in the mornings, so I started taking half a pill instead and this worked much better.
