Schiff Melatonin Plus 3 mg Melatonin with 25 mg Theanine - For Stress Relief 300 Tablets - Sleep & Snoring

The Clue Here Is..."for A Sounder Sleep" - XmanORE on Dec 17, 2006 I Like

I'd complained that I was getting to sleep easily but wasn't staying asleep and a friend recommended Melatonin. I tried this combo (got it at the natural foods dept of my local Fred Meyer store) and was pleasantly surprised at how it worked.

The instructions say take 1 at bedtime. These aren't supposed to make me sleepy - they're supposed to keep me asleep. And they work. I've been sleeping a bit longer, deeper. Don't feel groggy in the morning at all.

Nice product!

Be Sure To Let It Melt In Your Mouth. - Gunner 2000 "Gunner on Oct 11, 2007 I Like

I've tried other melatonin products , but this works best for me. Just be sure to let it completely melt in your mouth and be ready to go to sleep. It works fast!

Schiff Melatonin Plus 3 mg Melatonin with 25 mg Theanine - For Stress Relief and a Sounder Sleep - 300 Tablets

This is my personal favorite Melatonin. It seems to work for me better than any other melatonin product that I've tried. Must be the L-Theanine that it has. I let it melt in my mouth for faster results. You have to be really ready to go asleep, say like in 30 minutes or less. It doesn't leave you groggy in the mourning if you take it this way. Just a quicker more restful sleep. It's available at Sam's Club, also. It , also helps to take with 100mg of 5-HTP.

No Help From This Product - j-rob-82 on Mar 4, 2009 I Like

Melatonin always works for me but for some odd reason this one would not. I chewed up two and there was no effect even later when I tried more at different times of the night other nights and still nothing. Even when I fell asleep I didn't sleep good as usual when I take my normal kind of melatonin in liquid form. I guess this works for some people given the reviews so odds are its gonna be this way for a lot of people where it works or it doesn't and not much in between. Melatonin is still great but I guess I will just stick with the liquid form. I have no idea why this kind would not work for me but it simply wouldn't so hence my rating.

Sound Sleep - Bobby Bass-gibson on Aug 13, 2008 I Like

I was to the point of moving into our guest room because of my husbands snoring, especially loud and more disturbing after he had a very busy day and in conjunction with his apnea I would lay there awake and constantly rock him when he stopped breathing. Neither of us getting much sound sleep. My friend gave me a bottle of Schiff and suggested I take it so I wouldn't hear his snoring. Well, I gave him a tablet when I took mine because it says for stress relief. He went to sleep and I read awhile, I kept reaching over just to make sure he was still breathing he was sleeping so peacefully. That was about 3 months ago. He still has a bad day ever so often but these things have worked for him and me. We take one tablet each every night, and there's no loud snoring around here.

Didn't Seem To Work As Good As Other Melantonin Products - Gina L. Mccray "jesu on May 2, 2009 I Like

Didn't seem to work as good as other Melantonin products. In fact, didn't seem to work at all. My husband has taken Melantonin for years and he felt that this was almost like not taking it at all. I had thought that since it sounded like it was stronger/longer that it would really work-

Didn't for us though but might for someone else-

Poor Product - S. M. Williams-Orter on Apr 23, 2010 I Like

I've used Melatonin for years and think it's the best. I thought this would be even better....it's NOT. I would almost swear that it even kept me up at night!

AWESOME! - Yvette on Jan 11, 2009 I Like

I had been taking Ambien but found myself hooked to it and very groggy in the morning. I tried to sleep without the Ambien but could not do it. It's terrible when you can't fall asleep and you know you have a full day of work ahead. Anyway, my mother picked this bottle up at Costco and she gave it to me. It sat in my cabinet for about 2 months because I don't like taking stuff that is not FDA approved. However, one day, I decided to try and boy does this little thing REALLY WORK! I rarely have dreams but I dreamt all night long. I'm generally a very light sleeper but this little pill made me feel like I got some really DEEP sleep. Anyway, for the skeptics, I say you give it a try, it works wonders. Great stuff, I highly recommend! Thanks SCHIFF!

Didn't Help At All - Azzy on Apr 28, 2010 I Like

All the good reviews I saw on here helped me to decide to try this out but unfortunately I didn't get the same results. My problem hasn't been falling asleep, but staying asleep, every night I wake up only to see the alarm showing 1:30 or 2:00. Here is what I did.

Day1: Took one pill, swallowed whole. This was by far the worst nights sleep I had in awhile. I don't think I slept for more than 30 minutes at a time and it took me 3 hours to fall asleep the first time.

Day2: Same as Day1. I thought maybe Day1 was just a fluke and something else was keeping me awake. While not as bad as Day1 there was no improvement from my nights of taking nothing, in fact I think I woke up earlier in the night than I usually do.

Day3: Sucked it like candy until it dissolved. I saw a few reviewers, including the top rated one, saying this was the way to do it, but once again it did nothing for me. Also, it took forever dissolve, probably around 15-20 minutes. Had no noticeable taste.

Day4: Chewed it into dust then swallowed it with some water. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but once again, nothing.

Day5: Same as Day4 but took two tablets. Same results.

Don't know what else to say, I had high hopes for this product, but it didn't help me at all. Time to try something else.

Restless Sleep - Wael K. Hussien on Jun 4, 2010 I Like

Well, researchers said that it should be tried for 3 days tell it gives a result. I have used it for the three days and then decided to quit. I had the worst sleep ever restless and irritable for the three days, I slept better before using it. I think it is not for me and you should consider that it might be not for you either.

Product probably should be purchased in slow release form. Did not produce
quality or duration of sleep anticapated, however, I would choose it before Ambien.

Slept Like A Baby - J. Young on Jul 21, 2008 I Like

A Godsend - Kavity Killer on Jul 14, 2008 I Like

I guess my body must underproduce melatonin. I struggled with insomnia for years. Awful. This one pill has cured it. It may not work for everyone, but for me, it truly was a silver bullet!

Lifesaver! - Shipper on Oct 9, 2008 I Like

Schiff's Melatonin Plus with L-Theanine and Vitamin B6 is the ONLY Melatonin that I will ever use! I let it melt under my tongue for faster effect. I only need a half a pill each night!

It's the combination of these three things that does the trick, trust me!

If I was to take something on a desert island, THIS would be one of them!

Oh and btw: Sam's has a 300-count bottle for around 5-6 bucks!:)

Noticeable Results - EJ Baron on Aug 13, 2009 I Like

I've always had an incredibly hard time getting to sleep. It always takes hours of laying the dark. Some nights I can lay awake for 6-7 hours before falling asleep around sunrise.

I've tried any number of things to help with the transition from being awake to being asleep. Lunesta works pretty well for me, but I don't like to take it all the time. It leaves me tired, and sometimes feeling a bit sad in the morning. It can also get pretty expensive.

I've tried many melatonin products over the years with mixed, but generally unsatisfactory, results. Sometimes it feels like they (might) help (a little) with quality of sleep, but mostly I'm left wondering, and eventually stop bothering to take them.

I recently decided to give melatonin a try again, and bought this stuff (Schiff Melatonin Plus) at my local Costco (where it cost 50% more than the current amazon price, grrr!).

I took one tablet that evening, sucking it like a hard candy until it disolved. It has no taste, so it's a bit like sucking a chalk tablet, which doesn't bother me, personally.

As I was sucking on it, I got curious to see what kind of reviews it might have. I found the amazon reviews via google, and started reading the same page you are now.

Not more than fifteen minutes later, I found myself yawning, realized I was having trouble focusing on the review I was reading, walked over to lay down in bed wondering if this could actually be happening (I'm NEVER anything but sharp and wide awake at that hour), and the next thing I knew, I was waking up the next morning, feeling like I'd had a fairly decent night's sleep.

Since then, I've taken it every night, right before bed (about 10 days now). I haven't had results as dramatic as the first night (though I keep hoping!), but I do feel a small, but noticeable difference in my level of relaxation, and it does seem like I'm falling asleep a bit faster.

If you decide to try it, disolve it in your mouth right at bedtime, or chew it.

Can't say if it will work for you or not, but for myself, I'm sold.

Works For Me - D. Finnell "Donfin" on Jan 30, 2009 I Like

I have had trouble sleeping all my life due to over active thought process. I could not stop thinking about things and it would interfere with my sleep. I tried other over the counter sleep aids which leave me groggy in the morning as I usually do not get a full 8 hours of sleep during the week.

I tried these tablets and immediately noticed a change in my sleeping patterns. My sleep felt more satisfactory in the morning, as if I had slept for much longer than before. I felt no groggy after affects, and have no trouble falling asleep while taking it. I also have a significant increase in dreams I can recall.

I intend to continue taking the product as I am 100% satisfied with the results.

Good Start To A Nights Sleep - L. Sullivan on Aug 20, 2009 I Like

Due to menopausal symptoms, for past 5 months have had trouble going to sleep and staying asleep. Taking Shifts Melatonin Plus I fall asleep within a half hour of taking the tablet and sleep soundly for 1 hour. After that, I do wake up hourly, as I had before, but go back to sleep with less trouble. I have very vivid and sometimes very strange dreams when taking this drug. I do wake up slightly groggy but the grogginess goes away fairly quickly. I have only been taking Shiff's Melatonin Plus for about a week now. I will continue on and see what happens. It has worked better than any other over the counter remedy has yet.

Works As Sleep Aid - Molly A. Wall on Dec 3, 2007 I Like

It works. Take about an hour before bedtime, after about 30 minutes after you've taken it,lie down and read your Time magazine, and sweet dreams. Oh yeah, use some sense and don't eat a spice laden meal just so you can test it.

UNREAL - IT WORKS! - Sean Byron on Aug 21, 2008 I Like

This is one of the best sleep aids known to man. One of the best products I have ever used. I sometimes need to take 2 pills, but it works and I have a real hard time getting to sleep. The only problem is that you can get used to it and it's effect doesn't work after a while so keep doing all those other things to fall a sleep.

Solid Stuff. - Ryan Treadway on May 5, 2008 I Like

I have a horrible time sleeping...and while this stuff is no miracle cure, I do sleep much better than usual. Sleep is more refreshing, comes easier, and is more rewarding. If you get 4-5 miserable hours of sleep a night, and you're looking to bump that up to six satisfactory hours, this stuff is for you, and you'll ultimately find it very satisfactory. But it should not be mistaken as a cure-all for sleep disorders.

Also note, vivid and annoying dreams *can* occur as a result of taking this product, especially if you're forced to sleep in an unusual or uncomfortable place.

Good, Deep Sleep - Paula on Nov 4, 2007 I Like

I wanted to try it so bought it locally (though the Amazon price is very good for 3).
Sleep is deep but not so deep as to be groggy in the morning. Pleasant dreaming, though non-sensical. Also not so deep as to not wake up during the night when turning over, etc. All in all, I'm happy to have given it a try.
Found it, along with Ginko biloba, recommended for tinnitus. Supposed to increase blood circulation. The relief for that is minor so far, but I've only been taking it for a week. There have been a couple of very quiet periods, but other times, just as usual.

Schiff Melatonin Plus 3 Mg Melatonin With 25 Mg Theanine - G. Vincent "gvincent on Jan 6, 2009 I Like

As a sleep aid this formulation was no better than Melatonin alone. Further, I am not convinced that Melatonin is efficacious as a sleep aid. The only effective OTC sleep aid I have found is Doxylamine Succinate. Unfortunately, a 25 mg tablet will leave you groggy in the morning. I suggest trying half a tablet first.

This Works Great! - Sahirzeeshan Ali "sh on Feb 2, 2008 I Like

This works great for me, I get very good sleep after I started with it. Body is relly relaxed when I get up.

Very Impressed - Dustin Mcclellan "Mc on Feb 23, 2011 I Like

From what I'm told, if you take Melatonin and nothing happens that is a sign that your body has enough and it's not needed. But if you take it and it works then that is a sign that your body needs it to be supplemented. I have taken Doxylamine (unisom) for years, normally I take it at 8pm and I'm asleep by 11:00pm. First night of Melatonin, 30 minutes later I was ready to go to sleep. I've been taking for this going a week now and it's a 30 minute turn around each time. I talked this up so much that a friend of mine wanted to try one, he is a commercial driver that has a very odd sleep cycle. First night he was out within 15 minutes.

Tomorrow I will start a supplement of tryptophan to see if this adds anything.

Looking at the price, compared to Unisom this is MUCH cheaper. Saving money and getting better results.

I'm Amazed By This Product - A.Buuren on Jan 25, 2011 I Like

I hope this is 100% natural because it works better than sleeping pills. It helps me falls asleep and it doesn't give me the drowsiness affect the next day. I highly recommend this product.

Great Product.... Look No Further For Stress Relief - Luis Felipe Gonzalez on Apr 16, 2009 I Like

Let me star by saying that I don't have any problem falling sleep I actually buy this for my mother who did have that problem. Sadly this pills dint do much for her. But since I already got them here I thought I'll give it a try. And boy are this good. I sleep so much better now plus the stress relief thing is really good too. I feel like walking on the moon. Normally I have a bit of a temper but now I am so relax and calm. Even friends and family notice the change. I only take one before bedtime (not every night) I'm sure this wont work on everyone since this pills do wonders on me but not for my mother.

Non-addictive Sleep Supplement - mnespresso on Dec 14, 2011 I Like

I was prescribed this and that by my internist, but finally a good friend gave me a few of these and they worked! I felt gradually tired after taking it and in one hour at the longest, I really want to go to sleep and I didn't have 'during-sleep' strange funny activities, and I wake up with minimal drowsiness.

Works Great, Never Groggy Next Day - Vegan for life. on Nov 30, 2011 I Like

I love this product. Just enough Melatonin to help me sleep, but I'm not so knocked out that I can't wake up to use the bathroom or hear my child calling out. A neighbor actually gave this to me in a gift basket after my baby was born (knowing I'd need it for restful sleep between feedings, I guess). But here I am 12 years later and still love the product. Read lables carefully though, because some companies, even Schiff, has changed some of their formulas to include more than just melatonin and theanine. Some add Valerian, which seems harmless enough, but if you're like me and many other people, Valarian can have the oposite effect and makes you lie there wide awake!

Trouble Falling Asleep? - Bob Lowell on Nov 28, 2011 I Like

If you have difficulty falling asleep melatonin is helpful. Some report vivid (nightmarish) dreams which are never an issue for me. Worth a try if falling asleep is an issue.

It Works! - anonymous on Oct 2, 2011 I Like

I have had insomnia as long as I can remember. As in, every night I go to bed, stare at the ceiling, look at the clock, get up walk around, and then my alarm goes off, and I have to get up. I feel like I never sleep because I see the time every hour, but I know I must be getting some sleep at some point, but I never felt like it. I've tried sleep training, several gadgets (bought right here on amazon,lol) unisom, and even Ambien. The Unisom worked, but I would always wake up after a few hours, and felt groggy for most of the day after. For some reason, Ambien didn't work at all. I had tried melatonin in the past, and it did nothing. So, I was walking down the isle of Costco, and saw this and thought that it was one I hadn't tried yet, so what the heck, might as well add it to the collection on my nightstand.....

The first night, I took it and about a half hour later I felt really strange, it kind of freaked me out a little. The next thing I knew my alarm went off. That strange feeling turned out to be me getting drowsy and falling asleep. I apparently haven't had that happen to me enough to recognize it. I had no dreams, no racing thoughts, nothing. I wonder if thats how it is for people who can just go to sleep feel? All I know is that I take this every night, and I sleep! Even if you've tried plain melatonin and it hasn't worked for you in the past, give this one a try. It must be this particular mix that does the trick. Its cheap and effective. Yay for sleep!

Usually Works Fine - Mark M. "M" on Sep 3, 2011 I Like

I find that it does what it says and makes me sleepy within a half hour.

The problem is, sometimes I will wake up with a headache the next morning, for some random reason. I am trying to find out why, if I am not getting enough sleep and cutting it off causes the headache, or taking them too much causes it, but I end up getting the headache all day and not even the strongest Tylenol can get rid of it.

I would still recommend this product, just be careful about any side effects.

Holy Cow This Stuff Is Awesome! - Dave Dixon on Aug 11, 2011 I Like

I travel quite a bit for work, and have great difficulty getting to sleep in a new hotel (I often ask for the same room or floor). I tried other brands of melatonin, but I've found that Schiff Melatonin Plus with Theanine is easily the best way for me to fall asleep naturally and wake up without side effects. No groggy feeling, no headache, no wake up issues at all.

I've also found, that when I'm stressed out from work or home issues, that this stuff works great! I've had serious issues sleeping when I was stressed, and now, I take Schiff Melatonin about 30 minutes prior to bedtime, and I'm sleeping happily.

I tell everyone I know who complains about problems sleeping about Schiff Melatonin. I've even started buying extra bottles to give away.

Works Like A Charm For Me - K. Jennings "Katrak" on Jul 24, 2011 I Like

I get occasional bouts of delayed sleep phase syndrome from having to stay up too late at night for an extended period of time. Because of it, my body begins to think that 2am-5am is a "normal" bedtime, and if I don't sleep in until 11am-noon, even as late as 2pm in the afternoon, I feel completely groggy. Like my sleep/wake cycle is in a totally different time zone. Melatonin works wonders for me to help correct the problem and get me back to a "normal" sleep cycle. I find that this brand is especially helpful with the added Theanine. Who can't use a little stress relief dose in their life?

I don't take this every day, as I don't find it necessary to take every single day. But for the times when I do need it, it's a life saver.

Zzzzzz - Finally Falling Back To Sleep!! Hurray!! - CheeryToes on Jul 20, 2011 I Like

I had been having trouble staying asleep - I'd sleep for a few hours and then wake up - wide awake unable to go back to sleep. I'd try staying in bed, but finally give up after a half an hour or an hour and get up - then I'd be like a zombie midday. I went online and saw this product and ordered it. It took a couple of days for me to see a difference. Then finally, even if I got up and went to the bathroom I went BACK TO SLEEP!! No waking up and staying awake...blissful sleep. I do have more vivid dreams while on this - but no vivid nightmares.

I recommend this product. I've never tried melatonin before so I don't know if the theanine works - but it seems like it does, because my brain doesn't seem to race as much - which was part of the reason I woke up and stayed awake.

Great Product!!! - Tammy Russell on Jun 20, 2011 I Like

I have always had trouble sleeping. my Doctors and i have tried so many different sleeping medications if isn't funny they all work for a little while then after a few weeks I'm back to not sleeping again. With this product I have been getting a good quality sleep and feeling well rested in the morning compared to the other medications. If you are looking for something to help you sleep that you're not going to be overly groggy in the morning this is a great medication for it and i would highly recommend it!

Oh, Yes. It DOES Work! - Norah's Shopping on Jun 6, 2011 I Like

I've encountered insomnia issues over the last few years and have tried many prescription sleep aids. I stopped taking Rozerem to try this product and have had great results.

It works very quickly and I've never needed to let it dissolve in my mouth as other reivewers have indicated.

I'm very grateful that my doctor recommended this product.

Give it a try!

Love Melatonin Plus - isabeats on May 28, 2011 I Like

For years I've slept badly: waking up too early and not being able to fall back to sleep, feeling restless, often feeling uncomfortable and fidgety. The other day I saw Melatonin Plus on sale, 2 for 1, and decided to try it. The very first night I slept right through to a reasonable hour, then woke up feeling truly relaxed and almost dreamy. And so it's been for two weeks now. Great sleep, a pleasantly mellow feeling when I wake up, and I feel comfortable as I lie there, instead of restlessly trying to find a comfortable position. I had my annual bad ear infection this week and even when the pain woke me up, I somehow felt relaxed and able to fall asleep again. Which has NEVER been the case before. And because of that sale I have nearly a year's supply for less than $10!

Works As Good As Ambien, Without The Amnesia - E. Johnson on Jan 7, 2011 I Like

I have a prescription for Ambien to help me sleep when I'm really stressed out. I like how fast it works, but the amnesia effect is a little disconcerting to me, as well as it being potentially addictive. So on the nights when my mind is racing and i know I won't be able to stay asleep and I don't want to take an Ambien, I reach for this stuff.

I am so happy with this product. It works better for me than any other melatonin product I've tried, and I appreciate the added Theanine to calm my mind. Even one will wash over me within about 40 minutes and I will start to feel sleepy. If I take two, it's almost guaranteed that I'll be out within half and hour and won't wake up again until my alarm goes off. Blessed, blessed sleep.

It Really Helps Me To Sleep - Y. Zhu "YZ" on Apr 15, 2010 I Like

Only half pill is enough to put me into sleep.
However, if I take the pill and don't get enough sleep that night, I will feel very awful the following morning. Thus only if I can guarantee myself 8 hours sleep, I will take the pill, otherwise, I'd rather stay up all night.
