Can't sleep

2017-11-06 01:23:13
I was suffering from sleeplessness for about two weeks. A doctor prescribed lexotan for 4days. When I took it, I really was able to sleep for the first 3days. For fear of addiction and dependence on it, I stopped the third day. But since then I wasn't able to sleep again. Please help me, it's getting to 3weeks now I'm going through this.

If u r not comfortable wit lexotan, consult bk ur doctor and express ur concern of fear of addiction. Der r so many other medicines in the market which vil help u to sleep. U need not suffer. Insomnia is treatable. C ur doctor.
