For the most part this medicine is a lifesaver. But, like with a lot of other medicines, I don't always get the same (generic) brand every month from the pharmacy. I usually get small white pills but lately I've been getting oblong orange pills, and as other people here have stated, these ones DO NOT WORK!

I usually get small white pills but lately I've been getting oblong orange pills, and as other people here have stated, these ones DO NOT WORK! I've also had some (I don't remember what they looked like) that work but take hours to kick in. It doesn't seem safe to take pills that are obviously not the same medicine from month to month.

I have Bipolar disorder which comes with horrible insomnia on some nights. This med, when taken with all of my regular meds allows me to get a decent night's sleep instead of being awake literally 2-4 days straight with NO sleep. Zolpidem has been a lifesaver

Two nights ago woke up with rapid heart rate. Needed to take Benedryl. Also got hives from Valarian root for the first time ever. Will go back and retry Belsomra. Am so upset. Even tried 2 different generics thinking it was due to the pur ... Show Full Comment

I noticed I was not as happy as I normally am. In addition I would wake up multiple times during the night thirsty. On top I was answering emails, sending texts and sleeping in other rooms of the house. My dreams were very scary and seemed real. Once I dreamt somebody was breaking into the house and I called 911. I donâ??t remember making the call at all and had to apologize to the police ... Show Full Comment
