Has anyone else used Alpha Lipoic Acid to help them with their insomnia?

I found out that alpha lipoic acid is a good antioxidant and can even be better than vitamin C in fighting the flu bug. However, I noticed a side effect, but a good side effect! It has helped me with my insomnia and works a bit better than any of the prescribed meds I have tried including Lunesta, Remeron, Elavil, and even Rozerem. Just wondering if anyone else has found this out as well.

I guess the ALA stuff works on different hormones in me that needed adjusting instead of working on serotonin and GABA and melatonin which kept me awake instead. I also know ALA can help relieve nerve pain in ppl with diabetes up to 800mg.

Lipoic Acid does not work for everybody. The easiest remedy to help with insomnia is MELATONIN.
