"i&#039;ve been using and still will use zolpidem for the last 8 years. i tried belsomra &quot;clean off zolpidem at least 20 hours.the belsomra at 15 mg made me yawn. that was what the dr. recommended. did not sleep at all. next day i tried 20 mg. ever hear of sleep paralysis? well 20 mg i got sleepy. i was impressed. i started to dose off and the sleep paralysis started to hit me. i got up and made some coffee and i won&#039;t take them anymore.google sleep paralysis and you&#039;ll find it is not pleasant to say the least. and they wanted $300.00 for 30. ended up with 10 for free with a coupon. got 8 1/2 left and will not use the anymore.took it 4 hours ago.zolpidem beats this belsomra by far. i rate belsomra in the negative 10. 
merck, thumbs down on this one...."
