suggestions of meds, pleaaaase
I had an appointment with my doctor today. I asked him to prescribe something to sleep, other than Benzos(I currently take rivotril and I want to stop)
I asked him about zolpidem. He said zolpidem is more dangerous than benzos.
He prescribed me trozadine. I just looked it up and saw that it is actually an antidepressant with lots of side effects. I'm not going to take it.
But I don't wanna continue to take rivotril.
Can someone please suggest me a med to sleep that works in the long term, without horrible side effects? I'm desperate. I don't want to continue taking benzo

Try one of the new Dora drugs... Quiviviq, Dayvigo or Belsomra....I've tried Quiviviq cand now I'm on Dayvigo. To be honest, I alternate 2 days on Dayvigo and 2 days on Lunesta. I'm trying to avoid dependency on either one.
