Hi.
Can anyone offer me some advice please?
I have been recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
I have been on zoplicline sleeping tablets 7.5 for over 2 years and really want to stop taking them. My doctor has just prescibed a low dose of Mertazapine as he said they will help me sleep. I am reluctant to take antidepressants again as I was on amitriptyline & citroplam. I am at last off them as I did not feel they were working. I have just recovered from the withdrawel effects which were quite nasty with the citroplam. I don't want to take more antidepressants unless I know they will help me sleep and I stand a good chance of not having to take the zoplicone. I am low with all the pain & lack of sleep but don't know if it would be classed as depression or not? My doctor is quite happy to dish out the tablets but I obviously don't want to take medication uneccessarily.
Has anyone had experience of taking these tablets for a similar reason?
Also does anyone know if taking zoplicone over a long term can be harmful or not?
Many thanks
