Me, too. Only now I can’t get it again!
Walgreens can’t get ahold of it and it’s strangely the only GoodRx that is affordable @20 dollars.
Costco wants $500 for it. I’m despondent. Only used it 2x a week for a good night’s sleep, no dependence, no side effects.
Yet my insurance would pay for other meds that make me sick..
I’m using diazepam but it’s no replacement. 2-3 hours sleep at best.

One more thing you should try.... over the counter sleep aid called Unisom. Just make sure the active ingredient is Doxylamine. There are some Unisoms that have the active ingredient diphenhydramine.... which does help but I feel the active ingredient Doxylamine helps much better. You can break them in half if a whole pill makes you groggy the next morning.

raina726, let me tell you that diazepam is a great anti-anxiety med, but not a good sleep med. And yes....the doctors and insurance companies want everyone to take SSRI's... . they don't work for most people with severe sleep issues and they (the SSRI'S) have horrible side effects!! If your doctor is willing to prescribe you Diazepam..... ask him or her to switch you from Diazepam to Lorazepam! It will work! I promise! I agree that Flurazepam was excellent...but if you've been unable to get that, ask your doctor to switch the diazepam to Lorazepam.
