Camzyos and insomnia.

Posted by 8leonard @8leonard, Aug 2, 2023

I’ve been taking Camzyos since 7/26/23. I have had 4 consecutive nights that I cannot sleep. I usually sleep very well. Has anyone else dealt with insomnia while taking Camzyos?

Sleeping ok usually on 3 hours night. But crazy dreams sence I started the tablets.

Dreams that seem more like I am awake just imagining it but my Fitbit says I was sleeping. I think Fitbit is based on pulse rate.

Thank you for your input. I hope the melatonin will give me sweet dreams.

No I have not experienced insomnia; started taking Camzyos in December 2023.

I think so, too. I never wear my Fitbit at night but the weekly report always shows that I had a couple of hours of restful sleep.

I take a melatonin before I go to bed and that helps me sleep better

I am on 10mg Camzyos started in jan 2026 but I also take Ambien 5 mg so I don't have sleep problems with camzyos.
I do have very vivid dreams - I can feel myself touching kissing and speaking to people - sometimes nightmares.

@peggynurse I take 5 mg once in a while. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it does not help.

Hi I'm new here. I'm suppose to start camzyos but I'm scared to death of the side effects. I care for elderly and don't want to faint driving them around it also states the other meds I take don't mix well with camzyos like metoprolol amalodipine and artovastatin. Does any one take these with camzyos

Although I'm the wrong kind of doctor (Ph.D. not MD), I'd be more concerned about symptoms of HOCM than side effects of Camzyos. I've been taking 5 mg of Camzyos for almost a year now (in addition to my dozen other Rx's)...Good to keep in mind that it's the Legal Department writing all the warnings...puts things in perspective (not that one shouldn't take warnings seriously).
Hope things go smoothly for you!
