"i&#039;ve tried numerous prescription sleep aids.  i&#039;m on 50 mg of adderall throughout the day so i definitely have trouble winding down at night.  ambien and similar prescription medicines only made the insomnia problem worse, buy adding hallucinations to the mix.  a friend recommended i try melatonin.  it&#039;s fairly inexpensive, and if i take 3 about 30 minutes before bed i have a full nights sleep and feel rested in the morning.  no weird side effects, like i experienced with the prescriptions i&#039;ve tried.  works much better than unisom or tylenol pm.  i suggest it to everyone i know having sleeping issues."
