Eszopiclon for Sleep
Can I use Eszopiclone for sleep permanently for long term? Mirtazapine and Trazodone are not working for me, so I am looking for an alternative that has a sedative effect, helps with both sleep initiation and maintenance, and does not affect metabolism or blood sugar.

No. It also acts in GABA receptors and similar to benzos on longterm causes side effects. Better try many other safer options available by consulting a psychiatrist. Good luck

Hii..
No medication can be used without regular followup and need for the use of medication should be known completely before using it..
If primary problem is not solved symptoms will not be reduced and there are chances for gaining tolerance..
Consult online for further assessment and treatment
