I find that Belsomra, 20 mg helps me get to sleep quickly but doesn’t keep me asleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. I also take Trazodone, which I have been using for 35 years but the combo isn’t working that well for me. Ambien works better with it for me but my doctor won’t prescribe Ambien and Belsomra. Not sure what I will do. I have been taking sleep meds for so long I have given up the hope that I will ever get off of them. I am 72.

@aethos at 72 now is not the time to try new things. Go with what has worked for you in the past and explain this as calmly and nicely as you can to your physician. If he is not understanding.......find a new one. I tired of these physicians making supercilious decisions for geriatric patients when they have had success with what they have been on for years. He must have not taken that course in Med School.!
