I took many different sleeping tablets and tranquelisers over forty years. You name it I took it, all legally prescribed. My most recent drugs were Phenergan, Melatonin and zopiclone to help with my insomnia. I recently decided to give them all up due to reeding a book on the Pharma industry. I did cold turkey and suffered bad flu like effects for two weeks. I am now free, my sleep is no worse and perhaps a little better and feel so much better in myself. Mainly with the help of Meditation.
