using it with 3 mg of Melatonin for my mother who has alzheimer's and insomnia. It works well with the 3 mg Melatonin. have been using it for two weeks. Md prescribed Ambien for insomnia if the poppy seed/melatonin does not work. Have only needed her to take the Ambien 3 times ( 2.5 mg) in two weeks.
