How Can Insomnia Be Treated While On Z-Pak?
The dr prescribed zpack 5 day for a sinus infection and told me to discontinue taking my citalopram while on it. Today is the last dose. I haven t been able to sleep for 3 nights. The Pharm said not to resume citalopram until Tuesday. Can I take an OTC sleep aid/unisom? Thank you.

Hello,
You can try OTC drugs like zolpidem (Zolefresh is the brand name) to get adequate sleep. It is an effective and safe sleeping pill without much side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
