Dayvigo (FDA approved in 2019) sleep Med

[KB3500]

Chronic Insomnia sufferer who has been prescribed benzo’s along with other meds to help sleep.

Recent Physician change and wanted me off Benzo’s for my sleep.  I was skeptical as hell as I have been on them for decades and haven’t been able to sleep without them.

Was out on this new sleep med that came out in 2019 and it has allowed me to sleep better than I ever have.  
 

if you need a good sleeping pill, and one that is not going to increase sleep apnea, I’d get a prescription.  
 

highly recommend!

Interesting I plan to research more about this. @KB3500 Did you slowly lower your Benzo dose before switching to this medication for sleep, or did you just switch to this different medication right away?

I currently am taking ambien for sleep. Cant sleep without it. Do you have experience with that. This new med sounds nice.

I had been on bentos for about 15-20 years and I used a taper that only took thirty (30) days and then switched to Dayvigo which interacts with the same receptors.  No withdrawals for the first time ever and for the first time in my life I am falling asleep like a normal person and most nights sleeping 8 hours without waking up.  Never have I encountered such good sleep!

I used to take Ambien and Ambien XR, but always would wake up alert after four hours.  I would strongly encourage checking with your PC about Dayvigo as it has been a godsend!

Thanks. I'm definitely going to check it out. This morning I woke up at 2 am. I felt refreshed like I slept good. But I can never go back to sleep. By the time I needed to go to work, I feel like a zombie.

Is it not hard to get since it was so recently approved? I have also not seen it on any websites.
