"i have been taking belsomra for about 2 months now; but, not every night. my doctor took me off ambien, which had worked great for me with no side effects. i&#039;ve found that belsomra works sometimes and sometimes not. if i eat anything at all an hour or two before going to bed, (and i&#039;m talking a very light snack), this med will not put me to sleep. i lie there for hours in a kind of twilight sleep, not being able to totally drift off. the next day it feels as if i haven&#039;t slept at all. i cannot count on this med to help me sleep. it does work on some nights and i have not been able to find the trigger that makes it work some nights and others not? i&#039;m going to try it for a while longer; but, so far it&#039;s not worth the high price!"
