Repeating the remedy
If I have used a particular remedy in homeopathy for more than 5+ years, mostly the same remedy most times, in between other remedies for other issues, or trial of another remedy for same issue. Do you think it'll cause me any harm? I never had sleep issues. I took something for anxiety and depression in homeopathy, then when stopped allopathy, I developed serious sleeplessness. And I don't know what content I took but it was 18 number medicine given to me by my doctor. What has caused what? Does taking homeopathy for long, same remedy cause any damage in any way? Please guide correctly. Is this curable? If it was not required but still I took 18 number remedy for 5+ years, can it cause any irreversible harm or permanent symptoms in me?

We dont recommend to take any medicine repeatedly for a very long time.. its not needed to be taken that long. Yes it can cause temporary changes and some symptoms ..which we call as proving symptoms. You need to stop taking those and consult a homoeopath who can prescribe a medicine after proper case taking and be under their guidance so that they can keep a check on the dosage as well.
Next Steps
Stop taking No 18 medicine by yourself

Homeopathic medicines, even when taken long term, don’t cause permanent harm. However, repeating the same remedy for years without need can temporarily disturb your natural balance. The sleep issue is more likely due to stopping allopathic medicines abruptly. It’s curable with proper individualized homeopathic guidance and rest from self-medication.
