has anyone tired belsomra for sleep?

Hi
I was on lunesta for a while ,it was covered by one insurance ,(my parents) but not my massheath , i tired to fill the medication this month and it wasn't covered so CVS sent a foam for the doctor to fill out and explain why he wants me on the medication ,i got the foam back this week ,in the mail and it got denied, now i sleep fine ,but i often can't sleep ,but doesn't happen all the time but i need something that would be covered i was thinking about belsomra ,how anyone tired that ? does it work good

No but I have samples. I just haven't tried it yet.

I noticed my psychiatrist took a small amount of money last year from its company, but he never mentioned it to me. Did your insurance company say why they won't cover Lunesta? It's FDA approved, even for long periods and it's generic. Is it because they won't cover controlled drugs? Because Belsomra is also controlled, plus it's only out in brand form--which is no doubt outrageously expensive.

The one thing I remember reading about Belsomra is that its manufacturers recommended a dose they thought was effective. The FDA thought the drug at that dose was not safe, so they approved it at half that. Which to me would mean it's only half effective.

i think the paper said he didn't put in enough information to explain why ,not really sure

I tried it in the course of trying many sleep meds in the last couple of years. Not one of them, including Belsomra worked for me, but everyone is different. Can't hurt to give it a try.

My friend who has depression tried it for sleep. It didn't work for her but everyone is different.
