Hello @chuckiepoo1, I couldn't find any members who have posted about Daridorexant for insomnia but did see the press release for it's approval and shared the link below. You will notice that we modified the title so that hopefully members with experience can share with you.

I thought you also might be interested in this article on the drug that contains some information on the costs:

Are you able to discuss the cost with your health insurance company?

I have tried just about all the drugs for insomnia. Quviviq is the latest. I do not get any of the nightmares some patients have complained of but after 3 weeks plus of trying it, I know I will not be renewing the Rx. It just doesn’t work for me. I have other drugs that I make cocktails of to try to get to sleep which work for a few hours, then I’m up for several hours and then I take some more of my drug cocktail for a couple more hours of sleep. It seems as if nothing really works for me. I am retired so I am lucky I don’t have to get up to go to work but I dislike spending so much time trying to sleep.
