Been on steraline for a while now started 50mg Than upped to 100mg I don’t think it’s done anything for my sleep which ch was the main reason for taking it I am happier but I was unhappy before just exhausted and very sleep deprived suffering from insomnia for so many years.

I am having to take zopliclone 7.5mg never every night if I am to get any sort of sleep this is now not working and my anxiety and ocd was crazy I didn’t know cleaning and I was so so exhausted yet I couldn’t sleep.

I am really fed up at times and think shalli give up these medications what’s the point taking them. Got a doctors appointment next week and have decided to start walking going gym as a natural way I just hope I could sleep. 

What’s ur views 

How’s everyone else doing 

Thanks for reading

    Hi i have only just seen your  email so forgive me for taking a while to get back to you , i have a lot of problems i am dealing with but i do love to help people as well as i love to hear what people have to say what they are experiencing, i will try to make it short only because what my life history is , is so complicated it will make you ill lol, no to be honest i have a lot of illnesses that relate to all this which is why i was diagnosed with severe depression, and put on these drugs, i too like you started on 50mg then the doctor put me onto 100mg, it made me so sick ,without telling him i cut them in half so i was back to 50, but i still felt so rough, the only thing was though i felt rough in my body my mind did not have the bad thoughts, so i did not know what to do,  i was all over the place, this went on for weeks, stopping and starting so, i am not telling you what to do i feel it is up to the individual, a lot of people who take this drug says it works some say it makes them ill, for me it made me too ill so i stopped and with my depression i am seeking other help ,talking therapy, counselling, herbal remedies, so it is up to you , you do what makes you feel better , hope this helps
