For Insomnia "I was very discouraged from trying Quviviq after reading patient reviews. But my close friend told me her doctor had recommended it. She and I have very similar sleep issues... cannot fall asleep for hours, cannot go back to sleep, wake at 3:00 a.m., groggy and dizzy upon waking, no energy. My friend got optimal results the very first night. She slept seven hours through the night with no waking. Upon waking, she felt refreshed with energy and a positive outlook for the day. My doctor prescribed it for me, and I have the same benefits... deep solid sleep, waking up refreshed. It has been a miracle for both of us. no more Ambien!"

For Insomnia "The sales rep really oversold this to my doc. This medication triggered restless legs all night long and mini migraines starting the next morning. Caused dizziness while Ambien did not. I take Cymbalta for depression. Without sleep, my depression will get worse. He said it didn't have any side effects. NOT! I am not going to use this drug again."

For Insomnia "I had a horrible experience with this medication supposedly prescribed to help me sleep. I started having what I can only describe as a bad LSD-type of 'trip,' which had a head rush like a freight train in my brain. I couldn’t get out of the nightmares and feeling like there was an evil presence that kept grabbing at my legs. I tried to wake up and tell my wife what was happening, but I couldn’t talk or form the words. I will never allow myself to be under the influence of this medication, which robbed me of a peaceful mental state and sleep. Beware of this medication. I was freaked out by the side effects until 4 a.m. when the major effect began to wear off. I quickly got out of bed to reorient myself with reality. My heart was beating in tune with the mental flashes caused by this drug. I will never take Quviviq again."

For Insomnia "Been on Ambien. Works great. No problems. Dr. decided to stop prescribing class 3 and 4 meds at his office. I asked for Quviviq because of the commercial. What a mistake. I haven’t slept for 3 days since I started it. Can’t fall asleep for 4-5 hours. When I finally fall asleep in the early morning, I’m awakened often by nightmares, headaches, and body pain from constantly trying to get comfortable. Then I have to be up for work. Massive migraine every morning. Feel dizzy and lightheaded all day. I am stopping the awful stuff today."
