I previously had a prescription for it and never had any issues. How many mg were you taking?
A lot of the commercially available ones online are way higher than what was originally recommended (0.1-0.3mg). I think part of the reason why it's a prescription drug here is so you get prescribed an actually useful dose and not like 10mg or whatever.
I will say it's helpful for shifting sleep patterns but not necessarily maintaining them or ensuring quality of sleep. It's definitely useful but as everyone else has said other elements are required too.
