Sominex Nighttime Sleep-Aid Tablets, Original Formula, 32-Count Packages (Pack of 6)

Because this product has the Sominex brand name, it is much more costly than getting and equally-potent generic sleeping aid. Sominex has diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl), which causes sedation (lasts about 8-12 hours) and thus acts like a good sleeping pill. Diphenhydramine is an anti-histamine, so it work for itching and allergies too. The main draw-back to any product with diphenhydramine is the morning hang-over you will have until your body metabolizes all the active ingredient. It may also cause urinary retention, dry mouth, and gait instability.

If you just need a cheap sleeping aid, there are generic diphenhydramine products available for sleep. Be aware that every medication has side effects, and so does diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine often causes bladder/urintary tract discomfort in men with prostatitis. Do not take this product if you have prostatitis, as it will increase your pain.

I purchase the Sominex brand because I'm a vegetarian and most of the other brands contain some form of animal-derived ingredients, as most OTC medications do (stearic acid, gelatin, shellac, etc.). I have taken other diphenhydramine products in the past and the strange thing is, some worked and some didn't. I talked to a pharmacist about it and he said even if they have the same active ingredient and the same amount it could be attributed to the inactive ingredients. Anyway, this works just fine. At least when I wake up in the middle of the night I have a much easier time falling back to sleep. Maybe I should try the extra strength...

I'm adding a notation to my above review: I just found out that magnesium stearate is not a vegetarian ingredient either. It's manufactured from both animal and vegetable oils. However, I haven't contacted the company. It can actually be derived from just vegetable sources, but I doubt it since it's not listed as such. :-( Still learning. (FYI, Magnesium stearate is a major component of "bathtub rings" also known as soap scum. Lovely).

I bought the 6 packs of this product after I had bought a single box from the store. This product works great for me mainly because I only take 1 pill from the double pack. I sleep anywhere from 5 & 1/2 to 7 hours. I always before woke up several times during the night and had a hard time getting back to sleep. If I wake up during the night now I can get back to sleep easier with this pill. I do wake up a little groogy but I drink my large cup of coffee and am wide awake for the rest of the day.

I took 2 pills as directions say, fell asleep quick, woke up twice during the night feeling out of it, had many weird and disturbing dreams, went back to bed, got up for work had to call in sick because I was so drugged I could barely move. I slept for 13 hours and got up at 3 pm. Still feeling out of it. I cant even go out to the store to get some things because I look drugged and my balance is off.

This is going straight to the garbage. I also have to miss my aerobics class today as well. Looks like I'll be in bed all day till this wears up and probably be up all night.
