I have been on these now for over ten years, in my case it works well. I was talking to a Doctor a few weeks ago and they may want me to change to a different medication although they feel if it is not broken do not fix it. The drug is a good medication sometimes to get some sleep. I like that.

It was awful coming off it. I had dreadful withdrawal symptoms. I also had insomnia which lasted for months. It was however brilliant for my osteoporosis. It helped me sleep but also enabled relaxation which was fantastic especially when I had fractured a vertebrae (I have 14 wedge fractures). Every now and then I didn't take it just to see if it really did help! GPs and specialists have both said it can be taken periodically if desired.
