Is Daily Dosage Of Lonozep Advisable As A Sleeping Aid?

I am undergoing treatment of psyciatrist and I am taking Sizoden 0.5 1 daily and Ananda 0.25 twice daily. Sometimes in the midnight I wake up and cannot get sleep afterwards and feel uneasy throughout the day. For that my doctor has recommended lonozep 0.5, one at night and half tablet in the morning. Is it safe to take the tablet daily or should i try to avoid it or taking it will I get addicted to it.

Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic,

I am Dr.Naveed Ullah khan,

I have read your question in detail and will try to help you in the best way possible.

Addiction to these medication dies not happen. Rather tolerence do occur. Thats is you ll feel the need to take more in order to achieve the same effect gradually. And the more u take the more tolerence occurs. Thats why it is only given when really needed. If you were my patient i would let u take it for a few weeks like 2 weeks and then stop it. And take the meducation obly if u need it.


I hope this answered all your queries, if you have more queries,I will be happy to answer.

Wish you the best of health.

Regards.
