"i have tried numerous sleep aids, from natural, over the counter,  to prescribed, and this one by far works the best for me. i was prescribed 25mg to take at bed. it does help me fall asleep a little faster, because it helps my brain &quot;shut off&quot;, and it definitely helps me sleep better. i still wake up through out the night, but not as much, and falling back asleep is a lot easier. it does make me feel slightly groggy in the morning, and i am having slight dry mouth. the benefit outweighs the side effects for sure. i&#039;ve tried trazodone, and that didn&#039;t help at all, and experienced the rare side effect of painful erection...that was awful."
