Hi,

Has anyone tried Belsomra (suvorexant)?

“Suvorexant, sold under the trade name Belsomra, is an orexin antagonist medication for the treatment of insomnia. It is effective for insomnia, at least for four weeks and as compared to a placebo. Suvorexant is a selective, dual orexin receptor antagonist made by Merck & Co.” - wiki

It seems to make me sleepy (15mg) but not asleep, I had to take imovane as well. Apparently it’s better for you (brain wise) than taking imovane.
