General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
Lonazep, what you are taking for sleeplessness and acute nervousness is ok to be taken for short periods. You should not depend on it as long term medication is known to cause liver, kidney and lung problems.
Kindly reduce the dosage slowly and stop using it. Practice yoga and meditation exercises to get good sleep on your own.
Other drugs mentioned for TB should be taken continuously for a period of 6 months.
All the best.
