Somnote Reviews
For Insomnia "I am the primary caregiver for my son who has a brain injury. He has severe insomnia, and chloral hydrate syrup and, more recently, chloral hydrate gelcaps (Somnote) have been a blessing! It has been safe and effective for him for many years. I hope and pray the powers that be will reconsider the decision to discontinue manufacturing this medicine. It is our salvation for sleep, not only for my son but for the rest of our household."
For Insomnia "Helped with my insomnia 100% until they pulled it off the market. Many thanks to the manufacturer! I had used this medicine for such a long time. I never could sleep before taking this and I still now watch the time go by. "
For Insomnia "This is the only medication that has worked for me. It is dependable (6Y) for the long term. The FDA had no GOOD reason to "discontinue" this 140 year old safe, effective medication. I have not had a good moment of sleep for the last six+ weeks."
For Insomnia "I am an addict and suffer from anxiety and insomnia. This was the only medicine that is not a benzodiazapine that has worked for me. It allows me to fall asleep - not pass out and wake up feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend it."
For Insomnia "Good sleep with minimal side effects. It has been many, many years since I have slept this good. Insurance does not want to pay because there are newer, better medications out there. Not so, for me."
For Insomnia "Helped me get to sleep & stay asleep till they pulled it off the market."
For Insomnia "Works great at 1000mg. No hangover, solid sleep."
