I also took Flurazepam as needed for over 40 years until it was discontinued. When Chartwell began distribution in January 2023, I was filling a 90 day supply for $45 at Walgreens. I just tried to fill my latest prescription, and Walgreens told me they no longer order it. Same with CVS. Chartwell confirmed they are still manufacturing and distributing Flurazepam. I was finally able to fill a 30 day supply at Sam's Club for $586! WTF?
I'm working on finding answers after the holidays. I've tried everything else for chronic insomnia and nothing comes close to Flurazepam. I will most likely be back on Lorazepam that works OK, but is addictive and the side effects are hard to tolerate. Never paid more than about 20 bucks for any of the alternative medications.
I don't understand all the nonsense with Flurazepam. It's been around since 1970, but since 2023 it has been a nightmare of chasing pharmacies to fill prescriptions, and now 40 times the cost? WTF!!

cactusheadaz, please let us know what you find out about flurazepam. It really is a mystery. It's like there is a secret ingredient that they found works extremely well for people, so now they want to cash in on this miracle drug!! Let us know please!

I'm curious, is there any reason why you didn't do a drug free approach? In my experience, drugs don't cause long term success with insomnia because they don't really target the root of the issue, which is that it's an issue of fear.
I tried to go the drug route and my doctors wouldn't let me explore too many options. I'm so grateful now they didn't, it was really a blessing in disguise.
