Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Doxylamine is a drug that may be used for treating occasional sleeplessness and reducing difficulty falling asleep. I feel you have been so dependent on this drug and just the thought of doing without it is enough to make you very anxious. I will advise you see a neurologist to evaluate your sleep pattern/cycle and manage you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
