Ana sen, I’ve been taking zopyclone for a couple of years just to get to sleep at night. I have tried several times to sleep without it and it just did not work. In my case I found that the risks of proceeding to work next day without sleep and on raw nerves did not trump my need to get off the med, so i stated with the zopyclone.
Now i’ve started on Concerta so I have my a pil in the morning to get going and one in the evening to crash out. Maybe I’m wrong but if they work, I won’t have qualms taking these for the rest of my life. I think is a small price to pay for a life well lived. The only time i would drop the meds is if some really convincing cognital behavior therapy out there keeps working after the meds are dropped.
Have you considered local support groups ? They provide both the social setting to be with people and may help you decide what works best for you… hope you find a way soon
