Phenergan

Agnia

Promethazine can lower a blood pressure and i have a very low blood pressure and promethazine can cause a bad side effect not only zopiclone 

Agnia

my heart is beating like  a crazy and this situation brings more harm than good 
i took one tablet zopiclone ( i have only one left to take tomorrow) and i cannot sleep again even after taking zopiclone because it’s stressed me a lot 
really i was much better yesterday

Sorry to hear you're still struggling @Agnia but have you tried the new medication yet?
 I'd try not to panic too much about new medication, though if you're worried, I'd suggest speaking to your GP again and voicing your concerns. 

Agnia

i took one tablet promethazine and i cannot sleep at all 

Agnia

It’s too weak for me 

Agnia

i took second tablet no sleep at all

Are you supposed to take 2 tablets? You should be very careful about taking more medication than what is prescribed for you. 

Agnia

yes 
Phenergan is not helping me at all
this medicine is mainly for motion  travel sickness, allergy etc 
i need definitely to get something which is stronger 
zopiclone was working for me much better i didn’t have any side 

Agnia

i will find someone who can help me to do it or i will do it myself to book an appointment with private psychiatrist  and to ask his opinion what he thinks about this situation
and that zopiclone was helping me and it’s was really important that zopiclone was helping me instead of thinking that zopiclone can cause addiction 
this situation definitely did make me more unwell and more harm than good 
i suffer from chronic permanent  insomnia 
this situation does make me really unwell 

Agnia

this situation really makes me anxious and unwell 

Agnia

in the past patients were prescribed benzodiazepines for insomnia 

in resent years their place was taken by new generation drugs like : zopiclone, zolpidem, zaleplon 
They do not shorten sleep and do not disturb sleep structure 
Zopiclone is a new generation drug 
i have just one tablet zopiclone  left to use it tonight and im terrified what will be tomorrow without it 

Agnia

i would like to share my experience here regarding zopiclone that works for me very well ,
whereas Phenergan/promethazine  doesn’t work at all even when i took 2 tablets at night time 

im now left with phenergan and i dont know how to get through tonight without zopiclone 
i got only 7 tablets from gp and i used them all they were really helping me 

i tried nytol, herbal tea doesn’t work at all 

it makes me really unwell and unhappy this situation

All you can do is speak to your GP. The reason they don't like giving them for long periods of time is not just addiction, it's because your body gets used to them very quickly and they no longer have the same effect. 

There's other medication that can help you sleep. Please note, I'm not medically trained and this is not medical advice, just my own personal experience. I take Amitriptyline at night before I go to bed and it was prescribed to help me sleep. It works exceptionally well the majority of the time. I do still have some nights when I can't sleep but it still helps a lot. https://www.healthline.com/health/sleep/amitriptyline-for-sleep#how-it-works

Please speak to your GP. 

Agnia

Thank you poppy for writing here 
i was talking to my gp about it 
i got Phenergan which doesn’t help me at all 
i really need to be able to sleep 
im really suffering from permanent insomnia 
i really need to get a stronger medication than Phenergan 
Zopiclone was helping me 
at the end of the day im here on my own not able to sleep 

Agnia

i was in better shape before i took sertraline 50 mg and Phenergan 
my face wasn’t swollen before my hands etc i didn’t feel any pain in my veins 

Agnia

my legs feel like lead now and it doesn’t go away 
it happened in one day

As others have said @Agnia, the best thing you can do is keep speaking to your GP. While other members can give their own experiences and tell you what worked for them, we can't give medical advice and every body is different. It might take a little while to work out which drugs work the best in your particular body, but hopefully if you keep trying, you and your GP can find something that gets you feeling better

Agnia

Thank you yes 25 mg my face is swollen and hand as well 
i didn’t have it after zopiclone for a sure 

Agnia

i felt definitely better and i slept definitely better after zopiclone 
zopiclone is a new generation drug doesn’t disturb the sleep structure , improves sleep quality, and feeling after waking up and it had such an effect on me 
The risk of addiction is greater in people who were addicted to alkohol or other medications 
i have never been addicted to any medications i don’t drink alkohol at all 
im really not happy about this situation 

Agnia

Thank you letitbe 
zopliclone is in the group of drugs such as zolpidem , zaleplon 
they are a new generation drugs 
Promethazine is too weak for me and my face is swollen and eyelids etc 
i really need to get a medicine that will help me and definitely im not getting it currently
