"i too suffer from insomnia. i&#039;ve been on ambien since i gave birth to my son. every few months i have to stop taking it because it loses its effect on me. in february, i was one of the first persons to try belsomra. 10mg was my dosage. it didn&#039;t work at all. my doctor told me to double up. i like that it focused of a different part of the brain. when it did work, after 2 pills, it was fine. maybe i should try a new dose. i&#039;m back on ambien until it wears off."
