"i have trouble sleeping from 3 - 6 am.  i wake up and cannot go back to sleep creating the daytime symptoms of insomnia (see: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/insomnia/basics/definition/con-20024293 ). i rarely have trouble falling asleep.

i have been taking liquid doxepin for 18+ months (along with a 5 mg time release melatonin) - 30 min before bedtime.  the liquid has to be especially prescribed by your dr and approved by your drug company.  a 120 ml bottle is $79 - with medicare &amp; drug co approval, my out of pocket (last bought in 6/2016) was $7! much cheaper than silenor.  i am prescribed 0.6ml/night, but sometimes i take 0.5ml or less, &amp; never over 0.7ml (rarely).

doxepin &amp; melatonin work well to help me sleep from 10p-6a!"
