i received more zopiclone tablets, in Poland it is bad when it comes to public health care but here it is not better, i was given paracetamol for laryngitis knowing my body and that my larynx was weak and the doctor stubbornly prescribed me paracetamol, people i knew were bringing antibiotics from Poland for themselves in case they needed to take it, in my previous place i was sick when a person from that council came to talk to me i was sick from her strong perfume i got a very strong migraine then , a lovely lady who worked as a social prescriber was one of the kindest people i met here from GP environment very spiritual as well a wonderful warm and kind lady she came to visit me.

i received another box of zopiclone and I’m really aware of the possible consequences, but I’m also certain that my brain needs something stronger than the allergy medication i was given in the past for a long period.

Can I just confirm you were prescribed the zopiclone @Agnia ? It's great you've managed to get some, but please be super careful with them.

Ah good stuff, I just had to check. 😊
I hope they give you some relief, especially with things being so uncomfortable at night currently, sleeping through the warm darkness would be amazing.

Thank you @Albus_Scope , yes they give me some relief and I’m sure i definitely need something much stronger than allergy medicine, i knew that a long time ago.

Magnesium. Take magnesium about an hour before bed. Don't take it within an hour of eating anything with calcium in (it competes). It'll take a week or two but you'll find you drop off way easier, sleep deeper and have the most vivid dreams.

Hi @Catherine21 , thank you for writing here, for me personally there is no compromise now regarding my sleeping tablets and this is because i was given allergy medication for a very long period and I’m here alone at night, and gp will not come and help me at night if i cannot sleep, what’s more if i cannot sleep at night and dont have the right medication to help me with very serious deep insomnia i will invite a doctor to come here at night and help me and i have already said that i will make a complaint , i don’t remember exactly it was a month ago they called me from gp regarding zopiclone and they didn’t even check my records and i did ask them politely maybe they could check my record, and im not taking this lightly im really aware of the consequences and at the same time enough is enough and i really need the correct medication for insomnia, not allergy medication, please could you talk to your doctor again and please could you tell them how you feel?

@Catherine21 i had to go privately for antibiotics because my gp was treating laryngitis with paracetamol, i had a friend and she was asking me Aga are going to tell the doctor what to do, yes of course and i did because i know my body and i knew when i needed antibiotics nothing else.

I went a couple of years without proper sleep, until my Psychologist persuaded me to get help. They won't prescribe me anything 'addictive' because of past drug abuse issues (wouldn't want them) I've been on Melatonin for 6 months and get regular 6/8 hours a night. My daughter is on them too and swears by them compared to other 'nasty' medication … seen too many horror stories in her Paramedic duties

Magnesium + Calcium + Vit D, and herbal stuff are all good, but they ONLY work once your system has been cleared of prescription medications, such as sleeping tablets, antidepressants, etc. Otherwise, it's an exercise in futility and they won't help at all.
People, in general, feel happy to go to their bed at night to sleep. As far as I'm concerned, it's when I'm preparing myself to go to sleep at night that I worry the most!

A lot of people don't get enough magnesium out of their diets. It really does help you sleep and helps with muscle cramps too. Apparently good for restless legs but no first hand experience on that.
That and some extra vitamin D (4000iu) because a blood test said I was low. So obviously googled vit D deficiency and I would say my general mood and calmness has been better since I started on them a few months ago.
That's all I take. I think regardless of medications, keeping yourself in tune still matters.
Look at it this way, often a disabled person is outdoors a lot less than someone who isn't. That's including mental health and everything. So obviously these people get a lot less vitamin D.
Here's the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.
Just my experience but magnesium helps me sleep and my muscles feel less sore. Vitamin D helps with my mood, although I think I'm getting enough of that from the sun at the moment 🤣
