Misc Suvorexant (Belsomra)

I’ve had trouble sleeping since the 70s. Been on nearly everything (exaggerated) best drug that worked for me was discontinued (Dalmane) I was on Belsomra for a short time, didn’t work for me. Currently taking Docupin 10 mg, 3, 3 mg melatonin & 10 mg cyclobenzaprine.
Ambian, lunesta, didn’t work. I used to take Trazodone but that stopped working.

I have this fear of not being able to sleep, likely from a history of not sleeping.
 
I can relate - have had trouble sleeping since the 70s too. I'm going to try the Belsomra one more time - it was so hard to get that I have to give it another try. Lately I've had to take 3 - 10 mg doxepin to get to sleep - which is up from one plus melatonin a couple months ago. Not sure why it's worse. Sometimes my allergies contribute to the insomnia - and lately there has been quite a bit of dust and pollen blowing around.
 
I tried Belsomra but it didn't do that much to help me sleep. I initially tried the 15 mg dose and then 20 mg. I once tried 30 mg and that definitely helped. It seems that they have produced this drug at somewhat of an ineffective dose, at least here in Australia. For sleep, I now take 150 mg clonidine, 112 mg pregabalin (1.5 capsules), and either 50-60 mg of baclofen with 50 mg trazodone or 100 mg trazodone + 100 mg quetiapine. I have very long-standing sleep problems and haven't tried to go to sleep without tablets in almost 30 years. I once tried and was awake for 4 days straight.
