Dayvigo Side Effects: Share Your Experiences

Dayvigo side effects may be so disturbing that the person may not try it their whole life once they have some of the weird side effects.

Some of the weird and common side effects of Dayvigo are mentioned by the manufacturer, as per data collected from various clinical trials.

However, more side effects are recognized after the drug is in the market and people share their experiences.

To elaborate on some of these weird and rare side effects, I collected data from several forums to highlight what side effects are the most common and if there are any rare side effects that have not been mentioned by the manufacturer or not.

About Dayvigo . . .

Dayvigo is a brand name of Lemborexant, a drug that acts on the Orexin-receptors pathway. It blocks the final pathway of the neurons responsible for wakefulness.

Unlike Benzos and other hypnotics, it does not suppress neuronal transmission widely in the brain and may be less likely to have next-day somnolence or other similar effects.

The drug is taken in a dose of 5 mg before going to bed. The maximum dose is 10 mg every night. It should not be taken with other hypnotics, alcohol, or benzodiazepines because of the risk of severe side effects including drowsiness and respiratory depression.

Other medicines in the same class include:

Dayvigo’s Impact on Sleep in Real-Life Scenario:

Out of a total of 133 responses, 97 (72.9%) responded positively in terms of better sleep quality, sleep duration, and rapid sleep induction after taking Dayvigo.

21% of the respondents voted negatively and did not recommend Dayvigo because of either weird side effects or because of lack of efficacy.

6% of participants had a 50/50 response. They either had a good response initially and the effect faded or had a better sleep but simultaneously had weird side effects.
