Hi.
I understand your concern.
Zolfresh contain zolpidam and it acts as sedative. It is helpful in insomnia.
As you have mentioned you have been on this since long so require gradually withdraw medicine.
From 10 to 5 mg for 1 week then stop to take medicine.
Sudden cessation of drug may lead to rebound insomnia means sleeplessness.
Take your doctors advise regarding it.
Glad to help you further.
Thank you.
