Zolfresh Dependence

2022-06-05 09:08:43
I am taking Zolfresh 10mg for last 3 years. Recently I came to know about its habit forming and dependence and tolerance issue. I am now asking my psychiatrist to taper its dose and help me stop taking this medication. He has asked me to wait for few weeks before he will start tapering it. I have one question. If I stop taking Zolfresh will I be able to sleep naturally. Please advise me about the harmful effects of stopping Zolfresh after proper tapering.
