Brief Answer:
You have to taper the drug

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. Welcome to HCM.

Do you mean 15 mg of zolfresh or 150 mg?
Because 150 mg is very high dose and you have to visit a psychiatrist or a physician immediately.

For the management of insomnia there are few steps one has to follow:
1. Identify whether it is a primary insomnia [without any other disorder or stressor, depression or anxiety or any physical illness] or secondary insomnia [secondary to other problems as mentioned above].
2. If it is a secondary insomnia then one has to go for treatment of the cause of insomnia.
3. Primary insomnia is treated by hypnotics and sedatives for short term only and response rate is high.
4. One has to follow the steps of sleep hygiene.
5. Avoid any addictive drugs, alcohol, caffeine, tea etc.

You can read about sleep hygiene from the internet because it is very difficult to explain here in detail.

You have to taper zolpidem and it is not simple for you to do without guidance and observation of psychiatrist. In my opinion you should visit a psychiatrist, undergo thorough evaluation. After evaluation he will tell you about further plan. If you are suffering from any psychiatric illness, he may prescribe medications and you need not take sleeping pills on your own. Even though your past experience with a psychiatrist was not fruitful, you have visit again.

Do not take benadryl syrup or any other substance for sleep, because if you become addicted to them then it will be very difficult for you to get out of it.

Give answers to my questions and read about sleep hygiene. Visit a psychiatrist, it will be more beneficial to you.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then feel free to ask. Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Taking another medication wont solve issue

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.

Substituting zolfresh with another drug will not be helpful because you may get addicted to that one. You require final solution and that will not be achieved by substituting drugs with one another. Reason for insomnia is very important to find out.

There are drugs like zopiclone, eszopiclone from the same class of zolfresh. Other options are benzodiazepines but they are more addicting then previous ones. You can not get these drugs on your own, you need prescription from the doctor.
