"i don&#039;t normally write reviews, but there is so much negative feedback being given about belsomra right now that i feel obligated to give a dissenting opinion. i suffered for nearly 10 years with chronic insomnia that severely impacted my ability to function. benzodiazepine didn&#039;t help, because i needed to take them every night, and i built a tolerance to them very quickly. it may be too early to say for sure, but i&#039;ve been taking a 20mg dose of belsomra for the past two months, with no apparent tolerance issues. it has helped me to have a normal life again where every other sleep medication i tried had failed."
