For Insomnia "71-year-old female with 3-month history of insomnia (total lack of sleep 3-4 nights/week). One 50 mg dose every evening at 10 pm produced no help in falling or staying asleep. I've only been taking daridorexant for 4 nights and will continue until tomorrow when I contact my primary care doctor for his recommendation on continuing for a few more nights. Fairly disappointed that this relatively new drug is ineffective in producing any drowsiness."

Quviviq (daridorexant) for Insomnia "This med is worthless in effectiveness, but the cost is outrageous. Took 25 mg the first night with no effect. I took 50 mg the second night and still not a wink of sleep. Don't waste your money."

Quviviq (daridorexant) for Insomnia "Total game-changer for me. I have suffered from insomnia for years, and this one is not only safe, but gives me 7 hours of sleep. It worked on the first night. Thank you, Quviviq."

Quviviq (daridorexant) for Insomnia "Did nothing at all except I'd have night terrors some nights on it. My sleep was no better other than I must have reached some REM since I had some night terrors. Did not continue."

Quviviq (daridorexant) for Insomnia "The first time I took it I felt heavy and numb. Then I got restless legs pain all night and the day after. This drug doesn't work and has too many side effects. It needs to be taken off the market."

Quviviq (daridorexant) for Insomnia "I was very hopeful about Quviviq! It took a couple of weeks to take effect. I saw some slight improvement at first, but it didn't really address my main problem, which is staying asleep. I tend to wake up every night around 4:00 AMish, and then I toss and turn until I just give up trying. I'm thinking about going back to Lunesta."
