We decided to review this product for its effectiveness, to give you an insight as to what it does. We explore the ingredients behind these pills, poured through countless customer testimonials, and examined exactly how it works.

0viewsWhat is Somnapure?
Somnapure is a natural sleep aid designed to help you fall asleep faster, improve the quality of your sleep, helping you wake up feeling refreshed. Made up of all natural herbs and extracts, it is available over the counter without a prescription, and promises no side effects and is not habit forming.
The fact of the matter is that it is hard to trust that any product can be entirely without side effects because that is just not really ever the case, although some can have a very low chance of side effects which is not that uncommon.
You may have originally learned about Somnapure from one of their heavily marketed TV spots:

The basis behind this product is the ingredients. Somnapure includes a potent variety of ingredients that have been used for centuries to promote healthy, natural sleep. The ingredients are as follows:
Melatonin -A naturally occurring compound that is secreted in the brain, melatonin has long been used to treat a number of ailments, including circadian rhythm disorders, headaches, mood disorder, and even cancer.
Somnapure contains 3 mg of melatonin, which places it on the higher end of the dose spectrum (1 – 3 mg is recommended).
L-Theanine -Commonly found in green tea, Theanine has been shown to help reduce stress levels as well as produce a calm and soothing effect. However, there has been no research to confirm these findings.
Valerian Root Extract -Valerian root has long been used to treat insomnia, and some have claimed it is a miracle drug. You can find valerian root in many different forms, including sprays, elixirs, even brownies. This is the primary ingredient in Somnapure.
Hops -Hops are actually the primary stabilizing agent in beer, but have also been shown to have the same effects as Valerian root.
Somnapure also includes Passion flower, Lemon Balm, and Chamomile Flower.
Their have been no clinical studies pertaining to the effectiveness of Somnapure alone, but there have been several concerning the ingredients.
Reviews of Somnapure
We searched through a number of websites to find reviews of Somnapure, and the results we found were mixed. It seems to have literally worked for about 50% of the people who took it, and the other 50% got little or no effects from it.
For example, on Amazon you’ll see that literally 51% of people rated it 5 stars, while the remaining 49% rated it 4 stars and below.
It seems to me that the vast majority of the negative reviews have more to do with the fact that they feel they’ve been scammed by the free trial of Somnapure, rather than the supplement simply not working. (more on this below)
The reviews on Youtube were generally positive, which you’ll note in the few I found below:
My Personal Results
The directions state that you should take 2 pills about 30 – 45 min. prior to bedtime. In my opinion, I think Somnapure actually does work very well.
I don’t typically suffer from insomnia, but like a lot of other people there are a few nights where I have trouble falling / staying asleep.
I only tried it on about 4 – 5 separate occasions, but for me it worked great.
I fell asleep quickly, stayed asleep for about 7 – 8 hours straight, and woke up feeling very refreshed.
The problem with a lot of these over the counter sleep aids is that typically they help you get to sleep, but then you wake up with sort of a hangover that seems to persist for most of the day.
This was not the case with Somnapure.
In fact, the only downside I would note was the smell.
It literally smells like shit, there’s really no other way to put it.
After a little bit of research I came to the conclusion that the culprit here was Valerian root, which seems to have a pretty nasty odor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Original Somnapure and Somnapure PM?
There’s some pretty big differences between the original and PM version, most notably that the PM version promises pain relief to help you fall asleep.
Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of insomnia, and they may be on to something here.
So what makes this new and improved formula so different?
While the original Somnapure contains traditional sleep aids like L-Theanine, Melatonin, and Valerian, Somnapure PM contains weird ingredients.
What do I mean by weird?
Well, according to the information gathered from the CVS website, it contains Milk, Egg, Peanut, Tree Nut, Fish, shellfish, Soy, and Wheat.
According to the label on the box, it contains 400 mg of Bromelain, 4 mg of Melatonin (giving it 1 more mg than the original), and a complete tranquility blend that consists of Valerian root extract, Hops extract, and Lavender.
I’m not sure if the CVS website is entirely accurate, but that’s what they’re telling us.
Price-wise, they’re nearly identical. Somnapure PM retails at around $16, while the average price for the original Somnapure hovers around the $14 mark.
Review-wise, the testimonials I’m reading for Somnapure PM are almost identical to that of the original formula. 50% say it works, the other 50% say it didn’t do a thing.
My guess is the people that are leaving bad reviews likely have very SEVERE cases of insomnia, that of which prescription medications may be the only thing that may work for them.
Are there any side effects with Somnapure?
They “say” there are no known side effects associated with Somnapure, but as with any over the counter sleep aid it’s always possible.
For example, the ingredient melatonin has been well known to cause side effects like headache, depression, daytime sleepiness, dizziness, and stomach cramps.
The ingredient Valerian root also has it’s downsides, with commonly reported side effects like dry mouth, anxiety, and thinking problems being quite common.
One reviewer on Amazon said that he developed a rash after 2 days, however I personally feel that is unlikely based on the proprietary formula.
Also, because it contains sedatives, it’s recommended that you don’t consume alcohol while taking Somnapure, as well as avoid operating heavy machinery.
Is it addictive / cause any withdrawal effects?
I only took it for a few days, and when I stopped taking it I didn’t notice any withdrawal or addictive effects from it. With that said, I would imagine your insomnia would return with abrupt cessation.
Is Somnapure gluten free?
According to the manufacturer, somnapure has not been certified as gluten free.
Can I break the capsules open and dump in a cup?
Not recommended, but I’m sure it’s possible.
Where To Buy Somnapure
You can find Somnapure both online and in several major reputable retailers. GNC, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens all sell it, and the price ranges from as little as $11.88 (Walmart, online only) to as much as $69.99 (90 day supply on their official site).
Here’s the full list of stores that carry Somnapure: Walmart, CVS pharmacy, Walgreens, GNC, Kroger, Shop Rite, Winn Dixie, A&P, Kinney Drugs, and Meijer.
Ordering online seems to be your best bet as far as price is concerned, and saves you the hassle of having to drive to the store to buy it.
The other alternative is to enroll in their auto-shipment program online. You get a chance to try it out for 14 days, and if it doesn’t work for you, can cancel your trial and you won’t be billed. Some people find this as a convenient way to purchase, simply because it’s a supplement you can take everyday.
However, many people don’t realize this when they’re signing up for the trial, and are shocked when they login to their bank or credit card statement and see the charges.
You can completely avoid this by purchasing it directly from the Amazon website.
How do I cancel my trial / sample of Somnapure?
Peak Life makes it EXTREMELY easy to cancel. All you need to do is simply contact them at their official customer service phone number (1-877-460-3326) or email them at support@peaklife.com
This is nice because a lot of online stores selling supplements make it quite hard to cancel auto ship programs and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it done.
Recommendation
Typically I don’t suffer from any type of chronic insomnia, but like most people, I do have my days where falling (and staying) asleep is not that easy. I finally got a chance to try Somnapure out, and I gotta say it was actually a pretty decent sleep aid. It didn’t smell like horse manure (like Alteril does lol), and it kicked in about an hour after I took it.
The first couple of nights I tried it I fell asleep pretty quickly (about 30 – 60 minutes or so), and woke up feeling very rested and content. I only used it a handful of times, but each time it seemed to work it’s magic. One thing I would definitely recommend is that you refrain from taking it with any alcoholic beverages, as this tends to amplify the “sleepiness” effect, but also seems to amplify hangovers 🙂
All in all, I personally think Somnapure is a very effective sleep aid that could work for just about anyone. If you’re on the fence about this product, I say go for it!

Alteril is a VERY effective, non-addictive sleep aid that will leave you waking up refreshed.
Ambesleep is a fast acting formula that uses all natural ingredients and helps you sleep more deeply.
If it wasn’t for the free trial billing nightmare, we probably would have ranked it higher.

Getting some sleep
Everyone is different, but this has been an awesome sleep aid. I have tried several different types of sleep products and not only do I get sleep but I wake up feeling like a million bucks.

Kinda works for me
Getting to sleep is not my problem, but Somnapure gets me to sleep within an hour. My sleep problem is that the girl next door has woken me up so many times between 6 and 6:30 that I can't get my 8-9 hours. I am only getting six. I also wake up several times a night. After a few nights of somnapure I am still waking up during the night and still waking up around 6 AM. I am not very happy with this. I bought my 15 day supply from walmart. I would really like to get at least 8 hours sleep. I would feel normal. I like feeling normal. I hate the woman on my floor!

Laura's Review
I am on my second bottle. I hadn't noticed a huge change in my sleeping pattern. Till I ran out and spent a weekend with no pills, I couldn't fall asleep worried about bills, kids , mortgage etc.... And I kept waking up all night to use the bathroom than couldn't fall back asleep. I ran on Monday and got my bottle of "a great nights sleep" now I will make sure I don't ever run out. Love this product!!!!

I have been using Somnapure for about 2 weeks now. I have to say it is working great for me! Finally after 10 years of sleep disorders, I actually sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed (not drugged with medications). I ONLY take 1 pill (not 2, the recommended dose) before bedtime. It keeps me calm and rested through the night. I used to pass out around 10:30 and wake up religiously around 2:30 or so WIDE awake, brain racing, unable to fall back asleep. After years of this, I just got into the habit of doing other things in the middle of the night since my brain was racing and my house was quiet. However, its NOT healthy and I felt terrible in the morning after going back to sleep around 5:30 and getting a couple more hours of sleep.
Somnapure helps me sleep all the way through the night and I'm really energized. I feel like I can tackle other health issues now (like being overweight) now that I know my body can respond correctly. Thank you, God, and thank you Somnapure!!

I had no trouble cancelling
I had no problem cancelling the automatic refills. I called and after a 3 minute wait, the customer service rep got my details and cancelled my order. He said it might take up to 24 hours to get a confirming email but 5 minutes later I had it.

Somnapure has worked very well for me. I take one tablet one hour before bedtime and I fall asleep within 15 minutes. Before I started taking Somnapure, I would normally wake up twice during the night and have problems falling back to sleep. I still wake up, but I have no problem falling back to sleep quickly. I sleep 6-8 hours and wake up refreshed.

somnapure
This product DOES NOT WORK....period. I took it for the first time. I took one tablet close to bedtime and waited 30 minutes and nothing, so I took another tablet and nothing after 30 minutes again....so I took a third tablet and nothing. I went to sleep and experienced the same sleeping problems I have been having. I did nothing different and did not drink any caffeine for 14 hours before bed. I believe you are better off taking a L- tryptophan tablet and a cup of chamomile tea. Don't waste you money on this product. As far as I am concerned it did NOT WORK AT ALL and did not make me the least bit sleepy. I would not recommend this product. It would be a waste of money.

Somnapure
This medication gave me a very restless sleep with a great deal of falling asleep quickly. After several nights I realized it was giving me leg cramps that were quite severe and would wake me. It also gave me headaches the next day.

SOMNAPURE
At 79, I can recall not ever being able to sleep - as far back as age 10 (despite the fact I spent a great deal outdoors in very hearty activities. Prescription pills PUT me to sleep but left me groggy in the morning. I discovered Somnapure several years ago and am very pleased with the gentle way it lulls you to sleep and leaves no problems the next morning. Today I am a published author and need my waking time to be truly WAKING and productive. Just wish I could find a local supplier. Thank you!! (and what is this "if you are human?" WHO (or what) would be writing to you OTHER than a human? Good grief.

Somnapure
I've been taking it for two months and it works great for me. I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep/night and then napping in the afternoon. Now I'm getting 6-8 hours of continuous sleep.

made me queezy, kept me up
About an hour and a half after taking the recommended dose, I woke up with a disgusting taste in my mouth and feeling in my stomach. Soon I developed a headache and a feeling of overall discomfort. This lasted several hours. I dozed off, woke up feeling better but with traces of both discomforts. Judge for yourself, but this is not for me. Their sales gimmick is annoying too, I must call and cancel.

Somanpure is Awesome
I actually have insomnia, and Somnapure has been the best solution for me. Somnapure is so much more effective with me as opposed to other supplements. All natural ingredients, non habit forming, so pretty much amazing. Check it out and tell me if it worked or not for you.

I have taken Melatonin alone for over a year, but I still felt that I was not experiencing a deep restful sleep. I woke often and sometimes had difficulty going back to sleep. I would then feel tired in the morning. The Somnapure worked much better. I have taken it for 2 weeks and I have felt better rested than I have in Years. I sleep deeply, and wake refreshed and alert.

Use at your own risk
Make sure you ask your doctor about this product. I took 2 pills just like the instructions tell you and at 2:30 this morning I awoke with a headache in the back of my head that felt like my head was exploding and a terrible pain on my left side right under my ribs. I still have remnants of the headache this morning. I called the company to tell them about this and the fact that they really should have a package insert that details some of the testing done and precautions to watch for. Their studies are supposedly done by Harvard scientists. The supervisor seem much more concerned about defending the product and could care less about the consumer. Use at your own risk.

Somnapure
I have tried several sleep aids and this is the only one that works for me and extremely well. It is so true that you will wake up feeling awake and refreshed. For myself as an insomniac, I'm very glad to have the Somnapure for sleep. I just can't put into words how great it works. Give it a try. it is all natural ingred. too:)

Turn out all lights, put on nite lights, ( have one in every room ) Lower volume on TV..then I take 4 and one hour later I am sound asleep all night long...stop all liquids by 6pm.

I have used somnopure for about 2 months effectively after being addicted to various phamaceutical sleep aids. At one time I was actually taking a cocktail of three different sleeping pills. When I got Somnopure I followed the directions and took two at bedtime, but felt really hung over the next morning, so I started decreasing it. I now only take a half a night after supper whinch helps me settle down, then I take a half of a 1mg lorazepam(1/2 a mg) before I lay down. I have tried dozens of natural sleep aids, but for me I think the combination of herbs in this has helped me to sleep & cut way down on the prescription drugs.

The sleep aid assisted in falling to sleep but I woke up every 2 hours and had several nightmares on top of that.

Dee's Review
This somnapure worked like heaven when I first started taking it. After two weeks I am back to my old sleep patterns of not staying asleep for more than two hours. I have no trouble getting to sleep, but the getting awake every two hours is really not good. So I guess I am one of those who can't take this and I sure wish I could have the results others are getting !!!

Works For Me
Not sure why so many people have noted challenges they've experienced with Somnapure? I've been using Somnapure for years and I always have a bottle in my medicine cabinet at home for those nights when I can't wind down. For me, I've been very happy with my experiences using Somnapure and I've recommended it to several friends which all have experience positive results, just like me.

The only thing I found that actually helped me get some sleep after my Total Knee Replacement surgery 8 weeks ago. Check with your Dr. first to make sure it doesn't interfere with your pain meds.

It helped me
The first night i took one and literally within 20 minutes I was feeling very sleepy. I thought maybe it was a coincidence, but it happened again the next night...and the next, and the next. I have only a few pills left and I'm trying to decide if i can recreate the ingredients in a less expensive form, but if not, I will buy more. I was able to get sleepy with just one and therefore i can stretch them out for longer than two weeks.

somnapure-fantastic result
I've had insomnia for 3 months now. Bad. this product after one week really made a difference in quality and length of sleep. First nights 4 hrs. then 6 then 7-8 and very restfull and relaxed. This product worked fantastically. I also did the other natural remedies such as a bannan and otmeal 2 hrs prior to bed. Folic acid(B-12 vitamin) and chamomile tea also. It can take time for your system depending on you but it SAVED me.

This product worked very well for me. I took it 1/2 hr before bed and fell asleep quickly. There is no benadryl hangover but the tablet does smell like urine so don't breath when you take it.

Somnapure has changed my life. I have had trouble sleeping since I was a little kid. I don't like to take sleeping pills, so have spent most of my life struggling to fall and stay asleep. A friend begged me to try this for over a year. Finally I did. I fall asleep quickly and sleep like a rock. Best part is that it is all natural. I pray that they will never sell the company or go out of business. It is the only thing that has worked for me without the sluggish feeling the next day. I am beyond thankful to Somnapure. It is simply amazing.
Did not work
I don't have a problem falling asleep but I do have a problem staying asleep. A normal night sleep for me I usually wake up around 4 am. I feel completely rested but I don't get enough sleep. After trying somnapure I woke up three times,the first time at 1 am after going to sleep around 9. All day I felt groggy and sleepy. It took two days for me to not feel that way.
somnapure does NOT work
I tried it two days and I could not sleep all night! It actually kept me awake the whole night
good sleep
I have struggled with insomnia for years. I have RLS and that has caused a lot of it. however when I started taking Somnapure I started getting more sleep and the restless legs are less restless. I won't be without it.
Loving it...
I have been taking Somnapure since last year and I'm loving it.I sleep thru the night and in the morning I feel great. I tried everything out there from the Drug Store and there was nothing that worked for me. I saw the Internet Advertisement for two weeks free sample which I decided to try it and here I am today still taking it because it works for me but I had to take it for those two weeks to get into my system. Might be a possibility that some of you might need the Somnapure Plus.
Works for me!
I'd been having trouble sleeping for several months. Tried recommended dosage (2 caps). Dreams were crazy and vivid.Did not get much rest due to dreams. Began using 1 capsule approximately 45 minutes before bedtime. Works great!
Wow!
Have been using it for months. Love it. Sleep great when I don't have a million things on my mind. Have learned to relax and sleep like a baby.
Not my favorite
I've been having sleeping problems for awhile now so I picked up some somnapure hoping for the best. When I took it it didn't help me fall asleep but it kept me asleep for a while. I kept waking up though readily and feeling like a hang over. On top of that o had multiple nightmares which is unusual, I'm not a fan.
Solid hrs of sleep
This product keeps me asleep for a solid 6 hrs or more. I wake up refreshed and relaxed. Used to sleep for only 2 hrs at a time. Love this product!
Somnipure clinical strength
I fing it to be very effective at helping you fall asleep but does not help you stay asleep and i have had no side effects from taking it not even grogginess
Felicity varkevisser's Review
I am very pleased with Somnapure - it definitely works for me. I have taken it for about 2 months now and no longer suffer with tiredness in the mornings.
Somnapure works
I have trouble going to sleep. I have been taking Somnapure for some time now. It takes me about an hour for it to work. It most definitely works and I now recognize when I am there. It is non habit forming. I have allergies but I am not allergic to Somnapure. I would recommend it to friends and family.
I tried this it does not help me the only thing it did for me was make me throw up each time I took it I would have projectile nausea I would not recommend it for nothing. Also they put me on automatic shipment each month I called and told them I did not want anymore of this stuff will yesterday March 27 2025 they charged my account for a months supply I can't wait to tell these people off Monday when they open I believe they are crooks I plan to complain to the federal people

There has not been one over the counter med that has helped me sleep. I’m crossing my fingers.
I’m son exhausted with so many sleep less nights. Here’s to sleeping!
THAT will make you sleepy with out all the other stuff in it. This is NOT a natural ingredient.
A recent article I read in a medical report says that Benedyl kills bran cells. No thanks.
Somnapure Clinical Strength does contain Diphenhydramine, but the regular Somnapure uses only natural ingredients.

Somnapure works very well for me.
Usually it’s high. So in the morning I woke up and checked my BP.
It was high. I took one Somapure capsule.
One hour later checked BP again and it was within normal range.
That’s odd. There’s not really anything in Somnapure that would cause your blood pressure to go lower.
Are we talking just a few points lower, or was it a massive drop?

Yes, the recommended dose is 2 pills. For me it took close to an hour for them to kick in.

Like i told you at the beginning that i took it for the first time and how amazed I was on hoe well that it works.I want to thank you for all of the comments along with your replies that you have posted on line. If it would not have been for you I don’t think that I would have tried Somnapure and reason being there are so many products out there that simply does not work or have side effects.I would like to thank you for doing such a good job in promoting Somnapure it really works and you do feel refresh and with a clear head when you wake up in the morning.
Once again a huge thank you for all of your comments and replies that you posted on LIne.
I haven’t actually tried Power to Sleep so I can’t compare them, but if it’s working for you and it’s cheaper than the competition, I’d stick with it.

Or do you feel the affects the first time taking it?
Actually, it works pretty quickly. Melatonin, Valerian Root, and L-Theanine will all affect you within 30 minutes to an hour.

I really need something that helps without perscription.
Have you tried Alteril? It gets you to sleep fast and you wake up refreshed in the morning.

I’m sure you would get quite sick. I would recommend strongly against trying it.

I slept about five hours and forced myself to get up. I had breakfast and fell asleep again on my chair watching
TV for another three.
Hours. I wonder how many hours the daily sleep effect lasts?
Sometimes the simplest solution is the most practical: Have you considered going to bed at 10 PM instead of at midnight? Once you can stop fretting about your early-rising neighbor, perhaps you can relax enough to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night.

I had good results with it, just a little sleepy the next day. Make sure you’re familiar with the terms and conditions of the trial, so you know how to cancel the automatic shipments that may have been set up by ordering the trial if you need to.

Since people ingest these products including myself WE WANT HONEST ANSWERS to our queries!!!
My preference is for Alteril, mainly because it doesn’t make me groggy the next day like Somnapure does.

Nightmares are from the Melatonin.
Headaches this products has hops in it. Beer is made from hops.
You have an instant hang over if it isn’t processed correctly.
Diarrhea possibly a combo of the valerian root and the hops.
Personally I like alteril.
There is still melatonin in it, but it truly works wonders. And I am on prescribed trazodone and klonopin to help me sleep.
They need a boost. Lately since I am out of the Alteril I have been taking 3mg of melatonin with my rx’s.
I haven’t had any issues.
Melatonin is made by the brain. The older you get, the less melatonin is created.
Affecting sleep. I have found it in 1, 3, and 5 mg doses.
We can safely take up to 6 mg every 24 hours. But if you have a sensitivity to it, you will have nightmares, or night frights.

Didn’t work for me
was hoping it would
went from falling asleep naturally to using ambien.
But since then there have been articles in scientific magazines about the phenomena of two sleep periods.
I haven’t heard of anyone having kidney issues caused by Somnapure. I recommend you visit your doctor to find out what’s going on.

I’ve taken Somnapure, 2 pills, every night for 6 weeks now. My sleep continue to improve..sleeping 6 hours straight some nights.
If I wake up I usually fall back to sleep. I don’t lie awake anymore fighting to go to sleep.
I also don’t experience any of the side effects that others mentioned. I had insomnia for more than 30 years, and I rarely use Ambien now.

Over drew my account. No happy!
It’s the Valerian Root. That stuff stinks to high heaven. When I had it in my house I had to put the supplement bottle inside a canning jar to contain the smell.
I’m glad it works for some people. For me, a hot bath just before bed is the simplest cheapest sleep aid I discovered within the last year.
Like a miracle – for me at least.
I have neuropathy from having had Chronic Lyme Disease so it helps calm my nerves. Anyone who said they have side effects, leads me to ask, what else do you take with it ?
My MD is also a homeopathy and she said it’s the L-theanine in it that puts you to sleep. I buy it at Wal-Mart.
It is also sold at CVS, GNC & Wallgreen stores. It comes with a $2 discount coupon that you can use at time of purchase.
I do recommend it to my friends and they too have had good results.
She fights me for the pill. She’s so funny.
It is a service, and not in the business of selling products. … Think of it as a “Better Business Bureau” for internet sales Thank you, Rob for the site. It is informative and a fantastic idea.
Also, a lot of extra work to maintain . Good Job ! 🙂 Diana

I don’t like how they were not clear regarding the automatic payments. I took one instead of two the first night.
I awoke in the middle of the night with a splitting headache like someone hit me with a baseball bat. I was so groggy that I returned to sleep.
When I awoke in the morning, I felt like I was going to experience a migraine. I also had strange dreams and diarrhea.
So, obviously, I won’t be taking it again
Matter of fact, counting sheep still works the best
because of the cost ( 0) and no side effects(0)
I think I’ll keep on with that but thanks for the reviews even if they may be paid testimonials
Yes, that’s probably the safest way.

This is a review site. We don’t sell Somnapure or any supplement.
What happened is that by signing up for the free trial, they automatically set you up for their autoshipment program. You’ll need to contact the company to cancel.
Their customer service number is 1-877-869-3304. Good luck.

So, no more for me. Now i need a cup of sleepytime tea, or hot chocolate, to calm my nerves.
Bad skin reaction.
Unfortunately Somnapure isn’t working for me in any way whatsoever. I will continue taking the capsules until my supply runs out as Somnapure is rather pricy.
However, it looks like I will continue to be plagued by insomnia. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
When it comes to herbal sleep remedies, it’s really about finding the one with the combination of herbs that works best for you… which may be different than what works for me. That said, I would recommend you try Alteril. I didn’t like the smell, but it’s the one that works best for me.

I have been on a addictive script for sleep and wanted to get off! Tried melatonin, valerian root separately and had no response.
Well tonight was the 2nd time I took and it did indeed get me to sleep w/o my script. However on both occasions including tonight I had very weird upsetting dreams that ultimately woke me up an hour or so after falling asleep!
I will be calling to cancel hoping I don’t go thru the negative experiences others had. I may try cutting back to one vs. 2 that is recommended but don’t like the idea of automatic billing so I’ll see where that goes when I call.
That will make you lose sleep.
What I am trying to find out is if anyone has experienced really bad diarrhea while taking this product.
They have to be on the product lable, but the company and others seem to hide those important facts.
First one was tablets and second was supposed to be capsules since I needed a pill glide to swallow the tablet. Said capsules in photo and on a strip of paper taped on the bottle.
I received tablets. Amazon apologized and offered to send me a prepaid label.
Seems there are two different products and two different labels. Contents amounts are listed on the tablet bottle but ingredients differ from capsule bottle.
I gather from what I have read here that there are extra ingredients in the capsules.
They then gave me a special buy 2 get 1 free. As far as using this it does seem to relax me when I go to bed. still wake up about 3 times during the night but go back to sleep.
My bottle does not look the same as this bottle though. Mine is green and says Somnapure PM.
Resue Stress is another product for times when your mind is too busy and wont let you sleep, It is a spray, just about 5 pumps into your mouth that tastes like a Margarita in a bottle will put a stop to your busy brain and let you sleep.
Sleepy time Tea is also a good attempt to get rest.
Hope these products help someone sleep.
PS talking to God also seems to help too.
just saying!
I was able to cancel my order quickly over the phone. Even though the person helping me was none-so pleased when I said I really didn’t want any more of the product.
I am uncomfortable with the current research which is inconclusive on safety.
I also have used Somnapure and found it effective, but have similar concerns with continued use of Valerian Root.
Thanks for your response.
I tried Somnapure at its recommended dosage and was wide awake all night. I doubled the dose the next night (4pills), waking up every hour, so no real rest just chopped episodes of dozing.
The next night I added valerian to it….nothing. Last night I took 6 Somnapure, 10 valerian @ 450mg, additional 5mg of melatonin and I dozed on and off for about 4 hours.
I NEED HELP!!!!
Check out a product called Alteril, I have been using it for the last 6 months and it works great.

You sound to me like a person who could use a strong dose of basic human compassion.
Thank you.
I am not a small person so for me to react this way tells me it has way too much of something in it to take the recommended dosage.
