Whether I Can Immediately Drop This Zolfresh 5 Mg?
Question: Hello doctor,
I am taking zolfresh 5mg before bedtime from last 5 weeks for sleeping problem. I faced lot of mental stress 4 months back due to various issues. All my worries have got resolved. But sleep pattern got disturbed. Hence i am taking zolfresh 5mg on doctor advice. Though i am getting sleep for 4 hrs with awaking between many times, i am facing hot sleeping issues and feling discomfortable on bed and some other side effects. Now i would like to drop this zolfresh now and manage with meditation and homoeopathic medicine for my sleeping issue as worries got resolved.
As i know homoeopathic is not your domain, i would like to get clarified whether i can immediately drop this zolfresh 5 mg (used only for 5 weeks) and sought other ways to get sleep. As i am going to take homoeopathic medicine after dropping zolfresh from today, Is there any drug reaction issues as it is not parallel medication. As switching over to other type of medicine is personal choice, request you to clarify in both the aspects
Thanking you

Hi ,
In view of stopping zolfresh you need to tapper dose such as incase taking everday make it alternate days for a week followed by weekly twice and once and stop to avoid withdrawal symptoms. I can not comment on interactions between homeopathy and allopathy medications. Absolutely agree with your statement regarding personal choice. Wishing you good health.

Thank you for your reply. I understand your recommendation of tapering down the dose. As i am sorting to other ways, request you to clarify is withdrawal symptoms is high with least dose of 5mg that too for a short period of 5 weeks. In such case, i will have to wait to homoeopathic medication till it is completely stopped. I request to analyze the dose and period i used for zolfresh and tell me whether i still have to taper down the dose or to stop completely
Please suggest

Also request to clarify, you didn't mention about drug reaction and mentioned only about going homoeopathic is my personal choice. Yes it is my personal choice only. But i would like to get clarified about drug reaction. As i go homoeopathic after stoping zolfresh, is it ok in drug reaction point of view

Hi,
I have mentioned earlier I cannot comment on the reactions or interactions between allopathy and homeopathy medications as the details of ingredients are not mentioned. However since you say you want to start homeopathy after stopping zolfresh, I dont think you need to worry about any reaction. Zolfresh at any dose when taken requires tappering.

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I am following your suggestions since last four days. Now i am in the phase of taking zolefresh 5mg every alternate day from last 4 days. I observed now anxiety for Sleeping and slight shaking when sleeping without zolefresh.i don't know it may be psychological feeling as i am going to sleep without zolefresh or it is showing withdrawal symptoms as i am tapering the dose. If it is withdrawal symptom, thanks. Otherwise it could be severe if i stop without tapering.
As i told earlier, i am feeling happy during daytime as all my worries resolved. I will start using other medication ( Homoeopathic ) only after complete tapering of zolefresh as suggested by you
If any suggestions and recommendations, pl give
