My doctor recommended it and said that it takes about an hour to work.

I am more concerned with getting 6-8 hours of continuous sleep than falling asleep fast. I also have concern over whether it leaves one feeling hungover or drowsy the next morning, etc.

What is your personal experience and thought?

I've used it and it works great.

You have to have a 6-8 hour window.

It's natural and non-habit forming.

Take your doctor's advice...you paid for it!

I think it's great! I'm real skeptical of all natural stuff but it works great. They also have a time release version to help stay asleep. Wal mart brands are ok but if you can go to a health food store do that. It's about 8$ here. It just makes you feel tired and fall asleep fast but I've NEVER felt groggy the next day but always feel groggy when I take prescription or I over the counter sleep stuff.

Try one at first...but I was taking 2 because I'd still wake up...when I took 2...I was out...and just like Campage stated...no groggy side-effects...wide awake and able to function.

Most drug stores carry it too!

Works for me. There are different strengths, so just pay attention to how many mg's your getting.

I have no trouble going to sleep, its staying asleep where I have issues.

I've been using lunesta, tylonal pm to keep me asleep.

Two T-PMs and I wake up groggy, one 2 mg lunesta I am fine in th morning.

One T-PM and I usually wake up around 2, thats when I take a 3-6-10 of the meletonin, just decide as I look at them on the nightstand which to take.

When I take the ten, I am still sleepy when I get up.

Love my lunesta but after doing it for three years straight docs are weaning me off it.

I used to have problems with sleeping and staying asleep. My doctor had put me on Ambien. It worked fine however I woke the next day in a fog. And it is very habit forming. Over time you need more of it to produce the same results. I wanted no part of that. I use melatonin once in a while. Yes, all natural. Our bodies produce it on their own. But some obviously produce less or more then others.

I am sensitive to any sort of medicines or vitamins. I started out slow. A quarter of a pill. Then went to a half. A half was good for me. I got 6 to 8 hours. Didn't wake up feeling drunk or icky. It is non habit forming.

Robert I use it sometimes when I want to sleep really hard. Works great. I've used 3mg and 5mg pills and you won't be groggy if you get at least 6 hours sleep.

I take it every night. Works great. No side effects. I used to take ambien as well. That schitt will make you crazy. Melatonin is the way to go. Unless you like being f'ed up, then go with ambien.

3mg x 1 or 3mg x 2.I will start out with one. My issue is that I have chronic exhaustion and nap most day, then do not complete a proper sleep cycle at night. With all the different psychotropic drugs I take, adding Ambien or the like to the mix is a last resort. The brain already makes its own melatonin, so it is a safe thing to try out. And, I will!

Tried Ambian, it sucks compared to Lunesta.

Lunesta gives great sleep and nothing in the morning.

Also worked well with all my post op medications etc and mixes with Jack Daniels too.
