Finally, Get the Sleep You Need

Yes, online insomnia treatment is safe when using licensed telehealth services. All services we list use licensed US physicians who review your medical history, sleep patterns, and current medications before prescribing. Most online platforms prescribe non-addictive sleep aids like trazodone and hydroxyzine, which have excellent safety profiles and are not controlled substances.

Online sleep medication typically costs $15-30 per month for generic medications like trazodone or hydroxyzine. Initial consultations range from $15-49. This is often cheaper than seeing a doctor in person and filling a prescription at a pharmacy, especially without insurance. Many platforms don't accept insurance but prices are competitive with insurance copays.

Online doctors commonly prescribe trazodone (most popular, non-addictive), hydroxyzine (antihistamine for anxiety-related insomnia), and sometimes ramelteon or doxepin. They do NOT prescribe controlled substances like Ambien, benzodiazepines, or other habit-forming sleep medications. Online platforms focus on safer, non-addictive sleep aids suitable for telemedicine.

Trazodone, the most commonly prescribed online sleep medication, generally has minimal next-day grogginess compared to older sleep aids. Most people take 25-100mg at bedtime and wake up feeling rested. However, everyone responds differently - your doctor may start you at a low dose and adjust based on your response.

Yes, medications like trazodone and hydroxyzine can be used long-term under medical supervision. Unlike benzodiazepines or Ambien, these are non-addictive and safe for extended use. Online doctors can provide ongoing prescriptions with periodic check-ins to assess effectiveness and adjust dosing as needed.

Most online services deliver sleep medications within 2-5 business days. After your consultation is approved (typically same day or within 24 hours), medications ship from licensed US pharmacies via standard mail. Some platforms offer expedited shipping for faster delivery.

No, most online sleep services don't require video calls. You'll complete a detailed questionnaire about your sleep patterns, medical history, and symptoms. A licensed physician reviews your information asynchronously and approves your prescription if appropriate. This text-based approach is just as medically valid and more convenient.

If your prescribed medication doesn't work, you can message your provider to discuss alternatives or dosage adjustments. Most services include follow-up care in the initial consultation fee. Your doctor might recommend trying a different medication, increasing the dose, or combining medication with behavioral sleep strategies.

No, online telehealth services cannot diagnose or treat sleep apnea, which requires in-person evaluation and sleep studies. If you have symptoms like loud snoring, breathing pauses during sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness, you should see a doctor in person for possible sleep apnea testing. Online services are best for primary insomnia.

No, trazodone is not addictive or habit-forming. It's an antidepressant that's commonly used off-label for insomnia at lower doses (25-100mg). Unlike Ambien or benzodiazepines, you won't build tolerance, experience withdrawal, or develop dependence. This makes it ideal for long-term insomnia management.
