I've been on zolpidem for some time now and was wondering if it would be a good idea to switch to a different Zdrug or alternative route to try to get sleep? I have tried to go without it a couple of times but was not successful in getting ANY sleep. I just do not want my body to get to use to it, although I am sure by now it is. I was on 10mgs not to long ago and the last three months have just been on 5 and it was a little rocky at the beginning but seems to be ok now. It does not "put me out" or anything, and I do not really notice a sleepy or lethargic affect but I can not seem to sleep without it. I am also on prazosin for sleep, which was originally made for high blood pressure but is now used as a treatment for people that have PTSD (primarily helps with nightmares, and it does actually help). I apologize in advance if this is not the right thread to post this. I was going back and forth between whether to post in the insomnia thread or this one, and the insomnia thread did seem to give great advice on different methods of getting to bed, but I wanted info/experience specific to zolpidem. I have also tried (even attended classes) every suggested method in the book for sleep, such as healthy sleep habits, environment, routines, ect, ect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Namaste
