Even sleeping tablets like Temase (there is generic one of that too) but Temase will dissolve on your tongue with a bit of spit, making it easier to absorb quicker at 2am when you need it ...... whereas the generic ones (I forget the name) don't dissolve & take longer to absorb! I tried them once - but never again!
