NY. I have been suffering insomnia for more than 20 years (I had it when I was 15 yr old). I have seen doctors, sleeping specialists and phychitrists. None of them helped me at all. One month ago, I started to take Ornithine and I was able to have some sleep since then but I still couldn't sleep soundly.
