I used 10 mg Zolpidem for quite a while but it left me groggy in the morning. I overcame this by going on a five mile morning walk or a 20 mile bike ride. This really helped (also lost weight and got in better shape). I switched to Belsomra about two months ago. I found it to be less effective and it consistently gave me headaches at night. I switched back to Zolpidem. For me Belsomra did not provide the nighttime sleep I need.

Thank you for you reply. I too unfortunately had negative experiences eith Belsomra. The 19mg did absolutely nothing. 15 mg not much. Last night a tried 20mg. Fell asleep okay but after 2 hours I was wide awake. Ill try it again tonight. If it doesn't help I'm going back on 12.5 of Ambien Cr and 50 mg Trazidone. That combination worked wonders for me until I became resistant. I have had a long enough break from it so it will likely work again.
Im also practicing CBTI under a doctor's supervision. Shows a lot of promise but hard.
