| Hi,
This is my first posting and I'm seeking advice on the name or type of
sleeping pill available on prescription in the UK.
Until December 2005 I smoked fairly large quantities of 'Skunk' cannabis
which kept away some physical but also (and more relevant) a lot of mental
pains. I gave this up cold turkey style just before Christmas and happily
remain free from any kind of smoking. The only problem has been the
insomnia.
First I was prescribed 20mg Temazepam which enabled me to sleep for 1 hour,
then I was prescribed 7.5mg Zopiclone which routinely work for 4 hours,
almost to the minute.
The only way I have been able to achieve a good rest is to take a Zopiclone,
sleep 4 hours, then take a Temazepam and get another 4 hours. I do this
twice a week but feel pretty groggy the next day!
I have an appointment Friday and hope to be able to ask my doctor to
prescribe a pill that will give me 8 hours sleep straight through... any
suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Ralph
