Hi, im currently living in japan and having terrible insomnia. I didn't sleep for a whole week. I visited the doctor who gave me etizolam, but warned against taking it every night as it's addictive. I get 5 or so hours sleep with that and 0 when I don't take it. My brain won't turn off, no matter what I think about I begin to drift off and then am reminded that ill not sleep and that ill affect my health. I don't want to be taking etizolam every night but it seems to be the only solution for now. I can not concentrate at work and have no energy to do anything. Any help will be appreciated.
