Comment:
Worst medication I've ever taken and they the hubris to charge $400/30 pills, with an $100 copay. The biggest waste of money ever! I was prescribed 100 mg, the highest dose and Dayvigo was absolutely horrible. Instead of alleviating insomnia it created the absolute worse insomnia and the worst nightmares of my life. The first night I slept for 2 hours then woke up every hour after that. The se

Been having insomnia for about 3 weeks and was prescribed Dayvigo. First night. I fell asleep around 9p and woke up at 11:30p. Helped with getting you to sleep, didn't help keep you asleep. No side effects.

After only 2 nights of trying this medication at the lowest dose I could not tolerate the side effects. It did help me get to sleep however at 4 am both times I awoke in a manic/panic attack. Headache, blurred vision, shaking and unable to calm down. I thought I was losing it. Called the nurse line and was told not to continue with this medication.

Comment:
I am a long time ( 20+ yrs) insomniac. Having tried every OTC, Medical Device and Rx for my issue, I was anxious to try the new DORA drugs. These drugs ( Belsomra and Dayvigo) work entirely different than the Z drugs and Benzo's. They stop the arousal or wakefullness neurotransmitters that are keeping so many of us awake. These drugs don't put you to sleep they allow you to sleep on your o
