Suvorexant for Insomnia "Doctor started me on 10 mg. I didn't feel it was super effective. Asked for 15 mg for this month. Mistake! Dizzy and headaches during the day, congestion, had an asthma attack and I don't have asthma. Extreme dry mouth and bad mood (not my norm). Tonight, itchiness and insomnia. Have also had restless legs and bladder inflammation. Going back to Zolpidem tomorrow. At least I could sleep till 3. I went to bed at 10, took the med. Now 12:33 and wide awake and itchy. Do not take this to sleep. It is rubbish."

For Insomnia "Convinced by my Dr. this drug would put me to sleep half an hour after taking it, told me I would have a solid 8 hours of sleep. I paid $57 AU, and insomnia has worsened. Very disappointed in this product."

Suvorexant for Insomnia "I haven’t been taking it for long. Started with one 5 mg tablet. Took 2-3 hours before I fell asleep and then had very restless sleep. My doctor told me to take 2 pills, which helped me to fall asleep more quickly. Slept better but still felt bleary-eyed when I woke. I’m reluctant to continue this drug because it’s so expensive, especially if I have to take 2 a night."

Suvorexant for Insomnia "OTC medications have worked better for me than this. This medicine actually had the opposite effect intended. I slept a few hours and was very awake afterwards. It was like I took an energy drink."
