This has the same ingredients that the Walmart brand has, the HEB brand, and as far as I know, has not been taken off the market.

I asked my doctor about this product, and he said it is basically just an antihistimine. I, too, am sometimes a little groggy the next morning, but that clears up rapidly. A negative is the latest packaging in blister packs instead of a plastic container. The blister packs are so tough that removing the pills requires using s sharp knife or single edge razor.

I got this from a pharmacy in France a few years ago, and this is the same product, but stronger. I take 2/3 of a tablet, I fall asleep gently, may wake up briefly at 3 or 4 a.m., but fall right back to sleep and wake up naturally at 7 a.m. I was in France in July, and could only buy bottles of 15, because the minister of health has made it impossible to buy a larger quantity in one bottle. No one could explain why, but I could buy multiple bottles. I've been taking it every night for 5 or more years and have decided insomnia is worse than being dependent on 2/3 of a pill. I never need to increase it. And I'm never groggy in the morning. I got this from a pharmacy in France a few years ago, and this is the same product, but stronger.

My husband and I both take this and are very happy with it. It doesn't make us drowsy in the morning. We haven't had any side-effects at all. We both take other medications for BP and he is diabetic and this works great with no problems.

No drowsiness the next morning...no nothing but they work very well. Like all their meds .,these work wonderful, just a great brand,Egs andOt of my nights waKing around.

Pretty sure it is safe. The active ingredient that makes you sleepy is the same one used in Nyquil, and if there was something wrong with Nyquil I think we would have all heard about it. I've experienced no side effects except that sometimes I am still groggy the next morning.

I have been using this product for years off and on. Have never had any side effects. I only get results with the ingredients in this sleep-aid.

Hey R.Stabler, I did a little research on this Sleep Aid because I have been taking it for a long time, what I found out was it causes your major organs to be sluggish,I also noticed when I take a whole one it gives me a back ache, no doubt it's kidneys, I still take it but I only take half now it seems to work fine.

I did not experience any side effects, but the pressure needed to pop a pill out actually bruised my thumb

I used it for 5 years & it worked fine. It stopped a week before I returned it. For 5 days it did not allow me to sleep. I guess my system got used to it, & was no longer effective. I was forced to get a recommendation from a doctor. I returned it without opening. When I ordered it I still had 10 pills left. I dont knowthe expiration date.

You could probably contact the seller and ask that question. However, I must tell you that my wife is on her second bottle and swears by it!! She is feeling much better and now has one of her friends and my brother using the product. There has been no side effects at all. Hope you give it a try!!

It is a generic of zyrtec and works the same as zyrtec, so it does indeed make you drowsy, some more than others. It depends on how sensitive you are to drugs. If you have been on zyrtec or other allergy meds for a while, you will eventually adapt to it as I have.

Look up the active ingredient in Hibiclense, and who uses it. It is dangerous to have it contact the eyes and ears, so I would be very careful.

I have used it around my eyes with no adverse issues. I don't see why you couldn't use it both, I found myself using this as a pick me up or treat of sorts. You put it on and let it foam so it takes a little while. I found I didn't want to take the time every night.

it makes some people very sleepy. I did not get sleepy. I would recommend that you take it the first time during the wkned or when you don't have to go to work until you figure out how it affects you.

Sorry for the very late reply, I do not recommend it. Made my mom really sick... She got a pain on her left arm. She seriously thought she was going to get a heart attack. She didn't take it anymore and she felt better. Those went to the trash. Did you end up trying them?

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

Google the product to find out exactly what ingredients are in it. Lots of vitamins for one. Probably all the weird stuff in it they consider a "growth stimulant". I quit taking it because I didn't like the taste and many times it made me nauseous, especially if I also had milk shortly before or after drinking it.

That's disturbing info about natural melatonin. But of the 3 brands I have onhand here (Now, Natrol, and Natural Factors), none state what the sources are, or whether they're natural or synthetic.

Hello, good question. No no side effects at all. All they do is gently lift the skin of the nose. We have used them every night for three years and all is well. Great product.

Any question about "safety" seems like it should be directed towards the maker/seller. Since this is advertised is "all natural" I think that health safety would only be a concern if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients. Something to consider for indoor use, is the strong odor after initial application. You might also want to consider if any of the ingredients might stain your bedding.

just wanted to share what i was recently told about this product. my bff was told about it by the owner of a store she was in. the owner was a cancer survivor, who discovered the product after undergoing chemo and losing her lashes. being a cancer patient, she was concerned about the ingredients as well and had the product checked out by MD Anderson. she was told that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.

I used some I bought from a big box store. Took two in morning and two at night. I didn't see any change, but I only used it about two weeks, then ran out. I think maybe my trial wasn't long enough or it is hype. Not sure which. Sorry.

Thanks that does help. I have been having some side effects with it. After a few days my face started breaking out really bad, I have been starving (even when eating healthy foods). I literally eat and about 5 minutes later I feel like I am starving. I have been getting horrible anxiety before I go to sleep at night to the point where it takes me like 4 hours to finally get to bed even though I am exhausted. I have also been feeling seriously depressed and sad.

Results will vary between each individual that takes it. Kava supplement has never really given me sluggishness, sleepiness, etc. the next day...however melatonin supplements have done this to me. I can't say for sure that this powder won't have this effect on you... my advice is to try just a small sample of it if possible and find out (trial and error). If another brand has had this effect on you, this brand may also. I'm sorry I can't give more specific advice for you. Take care, Chris
