For Insomnia: In my opinion, be honest with yourself about all of the things that influence things in your life, and most importantly sleep. If you drink too much, have depression, have pain, are completely stressed, etc., please take these in to consideration. I'm a true insomniac, so I am reliant on medication to get at least 4 hours of sleep a night. If I don't have medication for this, I can be up for 4 days. I've been taking Ambien for about 10 years on and off. I find it effective in the first two months or so of taking it, but after that, it's a breath mint. I've also taken Lunestra with the exact same result. I have also taken two and three month breaks from usage to get back to the full effect. I am asking my Doctor to volley my insomnia medication between Lunestra and Ambien every other month. That way, they have the best chance to do what I need from them. Wish you all wellness... |

For Insomnia: I've been taking Dayvigo for a month now. I have weird dreams, headaches, and anxiety. I take it with my trazadone 300mg. I seem to sleep much better but its hard to wake up sometimes. Groggy. I do wake up to pee and go back to sleep pretty well. I do take medicine for anxiety but lately after taking dayvigo I feel more anxious. Not sure if I will keep taking it. For Insomnia: I thought I went I had dropped into a live-in nightmare 2 times in one night. It scared me so bad when I finally woke up I swore I would never take this drug again. It was the most horrific dreams I've ever had. I took 1. 5 mil pill. I'm still shook up after taking this drug. I hope this helps some one. It is not for me. I have never been scared of meds un till now |

For Insomnia: This medication only helped me fall asleep, not stay asleep. My dosage was 5mg and increased to 10mg within the same week. Even at 10mg I never slept more than 6 hours.
