KIRKLAND SIGNATURE Sleep Aid Doxylamine Succinate 25 Mg X Tabs (53201812) No Flavor 96 Count, Packaging May Vary

My boyfriend and I recently moved to an apartment in the middle of a bar/night club district in Downtown Cleveland. It's very, very loud on the weekends, and surprisingly, some weekdays as well. I have now discovered that my boyfriend will sleep through practically anything and also is a chronic loud snorer. Having trouble adjusting from a quiet, dead end suburban street and a bed to myself to a bustling metropolitan area with obnoxious drunks yelling, motorcycles throttling, the occasional food truck running 30 feet below our window, and a boyfriend who sounds like he is revving up a chainsaw in his sleep, I decided that I needed to experiment with products that would help me fall asleep and stay asleep.Earplugs felt uncomfortable in my ears and didn't mask all the noise. A white noise app just made it sound like my boyfriend was snoring through the middle of a fake thunderstorm. A fan made the room too cold and wasn't loud enough anyway. Melatonin didn't phase me one bit. Benadryl gave me a groggy hangover the whole next day. ZzzQuil made me have nightmares - like, terrifying, wake up yelling and sweating nightmares. So I started researching different active ingredients in sleep aids and reading reviews on both Amazon and Reddit. This one was decently priced, contained ingredients different than what I had already tried, and was rated highly. It is the generic form of Unisom.The first few days using this, I indeed woke up a couple times in the middle of the night and felt groggy the next morning. I decided to split the pill in half and take a half dose about 1-2 hours before bedtime. It now works perfectly for me - by the time I'm headed to bed I can barely keep my eyes open and I'm only waking up once or twice and falling back asleep pretty easily. I used to wake up 5-6 times a night, sometimes up to every half hour, and have trouble falling back asleep. This supplement has made me sleep sounder and, in turn, I feel better overall during the day. I used to come home from work and take a nap at 5 PM because I was so tired, but now I feel awake, my skin has cleared up, it's easier to lose weight, and I don't feel as stressed out. It even knocked me out for half of an 11-hour drive to the Outer Banks, something I've never been able to sleep through before. The only downsides of this medication are that sometimes when I don't take it (traveling, a late night out, forgetfulness) I find it difficult to fall asleep, but I don't think it's bad/often enough that it's habit-forming. Another downside is that I do not know the long-term effects of taking an antihistamine sleeping pill.Everyone will react differently to different medications - if you're trying this one, perhaps start with half a dose and understand that you may feel groggy while your body gets "used to it". For reference - I am a 125 lb female, which is perhaps why the full dose was too strong for me.

Super fast delivery!

I started looking up sleep aids for a few super long flights to/from Asia. Nyquil knocks me out and this has the same active ingredient and gets good reviews. I always have trouble sleeping on planes, but these and an eye mask/pillow and I slept for a few hours on 3 different 8+ hour flights. It really made the restlessness of cramped planes more bearable.When I was done travelling, I tried these at home.... for the occasion when I was stressed out or knew I had a big day and wanted a good nights sleep. I take 1/2 a pill about an hour before and they work great. I do not do it every day....probably more like once or twice a month... I don't want to be depending on a pill to sleep, and I like the idea of taking this infrequently enough that it's out of my system and I'm not hooked on it. Great sleep aid, but like everything, it's great in moderation.

I have terrible insomnia and use a Benzo drug called Serax, to sleep. I don't like using it too often because Benzo's are addictive. A friend of mine suggested this sleep aid, because it's basically Unisom under the Kirkland drug store name. It's non addictive and it's also an antihistamine. So if you have allergies it may be helpful, but it does make you sleepy. Sometimes I can just take half and it makes me sleepy but then sometimes I need two pills to actually make me sleep. I don't use them daily, only about one or twice a week. The one thing I don't like about these are they make me groggy the next day, and it takes almost the full day to shake that off. I try to use them only on weekends so it doesn't interfere with my weekly schedule for work and outings. It didn't make me sleepy within and hour, it took awhile. I take it at 9 pm and I'm only asleep at 11:30-midnight. So I think it depends on the person for ability to make you fall asleep, each time I use it seems a little different. If I use it many days in a row, it seems like it stops working, but that could be because of my type of insomnia. If you get used to a drug and have to take more every few months, this may happen to you as well. Sometimes it gives me a headache the following day, I never get headaches normally. It's a good product when you're having a bout of insomnia. Sometimes I also have hives or itching hands from anxiety and stress, and the antihistamine properties really helps me with that, I need only about 1/4 of the pill when I get hives or itchiness. I think it's a very helpful medication, definitely worth a try. Insomnia can make us desperate, and I've tried taking medications, working out to wear myself out, and even alcohol shots before bed, nothing really worked, but most times this helps me feel sleepy. I never feel sleepy and if you're like me, you know how wonderful it can feel when suddenly you feel sleepy. It also makes me dream more than usual, I've never had bad dreams with this, only funny and strangely adventurous dreams, but it makes taking this pill even more worth it, I enjoy dreaming and journaling them afterwards. Worth a try in my opinion. Way cheaper than prescription medication, and no risk for addiction.
