Like you've said, it's an addiction!. It's very hard and require lots of determination to quit taking!. You may need 6 mths to a year to get back to normal sleep cycle!.

Someone I knew took a night shift job for a year(at the airport or 24hrs convenience stall)!.!.your body require time to get rid of the urge!.!.try to find things to keep you busy!. Get support from your friends and someone close to you!.

I take them everyday not cause I'm addicted but, because I have to, I have severe allergies!. This winter I'll probably stop them, and I know it'll be easy!.

Try exercising during the evening till you get tired and have ta sleep, stay busy during the day and stop buying them will also be a help!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

try to keep yourself occupied and don't think about the sleeping pills!.i used to be addicted to watching my favorite show before going to sleep!.

they didnt show it one day and i couldent sleep but after that i was able to sleep well agian!.

so try not to take a pill for a day and maybe the next day!.

Try to have double doses instead of triple!. No matter how much it pains you, stick to double!. Then after about a month, do regular doses!. Then, try to stop!. it will be a lot easier!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
