"i have suffered from insomnia for many years.  i have been on remeron for 10 years but decided to wean off this medication.  i began really having problems staying asleep after completely stopping this medication  i was so very hopeful that silenor would work for me but sadly after trying it for 10 nights, i have not had success.   i carefully took silenor on an empty stomach and as directed.  i continue to awaken at 2-3 a.m. and cannot return to sleep."
