Zolpidem and clonazepam are not to be taken for long. Olimelt as you say can cause weight gain. There are ways to counter this or alternates which give sleep on long run without causing harm. Consult a psychiatrist and seek remedy. Good luck.

Hello, Zolpidem is a good hypnotic sedative medicine. It works best if taken on an as-and-when-required basis. You should follow the principles of sleep hygiene for a good restorative sleep. Also, melatonin, if you wish to start, take a dose of 3 mg rather than 5. Best wishes
thanks.

Hello lybrate-user
your doctors advice is right
ativan and lonazep both are benzodiazepines which cause dependence. Meaning you can get addicted to them.
In the long term the addiction will result in memory disturbances, gait disturbances etc which you must avoid right now.
Reduce it slowly over two months but do reduce it.

I have been suffering from ocd, depression and insomnia since when I was 8 or 10 years old. I am taking treatment for it since 8 years after consulting with psychiatrist. Since last 1 year I am taking fluoxetine and zolpidem 10. I tried many medication but not helped for ocd and after taking fluoxetine 40 mg obsessive thought and compulsive behaviour which was so debialating is almost recover, you can say 99%. But insomnia is not going to heal. Whenever I took zolpidem that night only I could sleep. And I felt high when I use to take zolpidem and use to take 2 to 3 tablet instead of 1. So, I was worried that I got addicted to it and switched to new e-consultation doctor from docsapp. She was psychiatrist and ahe had mbbs and md degree. She prescribed me fluoxetine 40 and clonazepam 0.25 mg at morning and lamotrigine od 50, clonazepam 1 mg and mirtazapine 15 mg at night. Now my sleeping problem is resolved. Is this right treatment? Can I trust doctor from internet of docaspp? She added lamotrigine od 50 mg because I told her that only night time after reaching home from duty I feel very depressed so she told me that it is mood fluctuating anf lamotrigine will help. Should I trust her because she is from docsapp and I had not saw her face to face. Please help.
