Hi doctor,
I am suffering from insomnia. I have been taking Stalopam for six months, but I am unable to sleep in the night. I had Feliz S Plus before two years, and it worked for me. But, I was advised by my doctor to stop it. What to do now?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
- Escitalopram may not help you to sleep since it does not have much sedative property.
- Feliz plus has Clonazepam in it, which will aid in sleep, but is not recommended long term.
- Since you have not mentioned any other symptoms regarding the prescription of Stalopam, I am assuming that you do not have any other symptoms except sleep disturbance.
- For a beginning, start practising sleep hygiene, do a bit of exercise in the evening and avoid drinking coffee after 5 PM.
- If you are still unable to get sleep, then I suggest you tablet Ramelteon 8 mg known by brand name Rametax, which is very physiological and devoid of side effects. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medicine with consent.
- But, I will advise you to try the non-medical approach. If you have symptoms of anxiety or depression, then it is better to continue Stalopam.
