New Sleeping/Insomnia Medicine: Dayvigo (Lemborexant) — Here's My Experience

As my tinnitus gets worse I struggle to sleep and as soon as I wake up it's over and I'm stuck in bed with torture. I don't want to increase benzos or take Z/GABA drugs.

Quetiapine and Mirtazapine are options I might look at but I'd rather try an Orexin inhibitor. Problem is the international online pharmacies I found online don't sell it. There is no generic as it is a new drug, so I suspect that it can be very expensive.

Can anyone give an indication of the price range and some tips on how we could purchase it internationally? I tried a few web searches but got nothing.

@hans799? @Lyta Norman? Thanks in advance.

 

In Canada, a 5 mg pill seems to go for about $1.75 per pill which is about $1.35 in US dollars. However, I have no idea what the pills actually cost in USA, since they often charge more.

 

I tried but can't find any provider that ships them to the EU.

 

I know this is an older post but I just got Dayvigo from my doctor. Really struggling with sleep. And even worse since stopping Seroquel and upping antidepressant. I was concerned about combining it with my AD as on Drugs.com it says it has a major reaction. My AD seems to react with everything. But my doctor says it just means we can't go on a dose higher than 5 mg. But nervous this will upset the apple cart since I'm in withdrawal, etc.

Anyone else on here take Dayvigo with other meds?

 

I found a provider, I'll buy it if Mirtazapine stops working.

 

The EMA has approved Daridorexant in the EU.

Do you still take Dayvigo? Does it work long term? Are you in the US?

 

The MHRA in the UK have also approved this medication under name of Quivivq.
