For Insomnia "This drug is horrendous. It seems to have left a permanent side effect. It gave me insane nightmares, a groggy, spacey feeling, forgetfulness, derealization. A blanked-out feeling which does not go away. Now, I can't even sleep properly, it's as if it never went away after the 20 mg dose I took. My mum took it once to try, she also said it gave her nightmares like she had never experienced before. Besides, it doesn't really help you sleep. Please, for the love of God, do not go near this drug. You have been warned."

For Insomnia "Initially starting on this drug, suvorexant caused wild dreams and disturbing, unpleasant nightmares (15 mg dose), then it ceased to be at all effective in reducing chronic insomnia. Dose upped to 20 mg, some nights, this had no effect at all - could not fall asleep or stay asleep - it was as if I had not taken any sleep medication at all! This medication is expensive to buy, so very disheartening when it didn't seem to work at all. I am wondering whether the manufacturing process is of a consistently high standard or whether some batches do not contain the correct amount of this medication, as there is no other explanation for its inconsistencies in effect."

Suvorexant for Insomnia "Yuck, yuck, yuck. No sleep. Bad dreams. Waste of money. I don't sleep well at all. I take Ambien 10 mg for the last 10 years. At least it helps me fall asleep. Sometimes I stay asleep for 4 hours, but usually only 2, BUT with Belsomra... 2 hours till I fell asleep, woke up in 1 hour. Dozed back off, then had horrible nightmares and no sleep for the rest of the night! Terrible!!! I'd not recommend! Back to Ambien. Btw... I do all the recommended healthy sleep rituals. I just can't sleep!"

Suvorexant for Insomnia "Belsomra caused side effects of horrible nightmares, sleep paralysis-more than once a night, felt terrible the next day, always tired. Wouldn’t recommend."

Suvorexant for Insomnia "Weird, horrific dreams... tremors... and last but not least, I woke up at 2:30 am every night taking these. It made me feel like I was in an outer body experience. I won’t ever take it again!!"
