Hi!
I have been using Zolpidem regularly for about three years (5-10 mg daily), never having trouble to quire some from a friend (psychologist). But I'm really fed up with it now, my tolerance is rising and I think I experience day time withdrawal symptoms (somnolence, anxiety). My insomnia is heightened by having some quite stressful events in my life (death of my brother, break-up), but I just don't want to be addicted to this drug any more.
Currently I take about 10-15 mg per night (usually 10 + 5 at morning). And my question is, should I taper it down, quit cold turkey and replace it with a benzodiazepine? But I have only Alprozalam at my disposal, which had quite short life.
Thanks for you help and possibly support
