I would suggest getting off of it. The side effects aren't worth it. My wife was on only 2mg./day. We did not realize you are only supposed to be on it temporarily. She has been on it for over a year. You can't just stop, you have to ramp down off of it. It worked initially, but starts being a problem long term.

I take 1 or sometimes 2 zopoclone, it works well to get you to sleep then your body kicks in naturaly to keep you asleep, you don't wake up feeling like a half sucked savaloy
