I have been using for sleep doxylamine succinate. I purchase it over the counter and I use half of a pill or one-third of it every other night. These portions help me to sleep but not for a full 8-9 hours straight, rather for 4-6 hours. I would like to know if doxylamine is habit-forming & if there are any repercussions if I continue to take it ( albeit infrequently.) Can you suggest anything better/safer? Thanks for your response.

As an alternative Unisom Sleep Gel caps are good as they act in a similar manner. It would do the same thing as what you are currently taking. In terms of safeness it can be habit forming if taken for increased periods, and if you stop abruptly after taking it daily for a period of say, months then you may find yourself unable to get to sleep for a while.
It should be no problem if you take it infrequently, it is only when taken nightly it becomes a problem.

Unisom uses this ingredient. That's a drug promoter answering above. It's an antihistamine.
