How to ween myself off of over the counter Sleep Aid
by Lisa
I have been taking Sleep Aid/Unisom faithfully for almost a year and I feel/I know I have become addicted. I was taking Lunesta (as prescibed by my doctor before I did over the counter) but when I read it could become addicting, I came off and THOUGHT that taking the over-the-counter sleep aid would do the same thing, just a weaker non-addicting dosage. I WAS WRONG. Now I want to take myself off completely (going strong for two nights) but during this time, I cannot sleep and it is starting to effect my work and driving. How/what is the best thing for me to do? Thanks!! Answer You will need to see a drug therapist, especially one that specializes in addiction. Sleeping pills addiction should not be taken lightly.
