"i was prescribed this medication after talking with my neurologist about my sleep issues. she suggested zolpidem or temazepam to help. i declined both meds because my younger brother is an addict who refuses to seek help and i can&#039;t bear to have something like that in my possession and have it constantly stolen from me( in spite of me hiding it. )  she decided that belsomra may help with my issue.  well i have been lucky to get an hour and a half of sleep. i wish that it could have worked for me."
