Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Etizola is related to the benzodiazepine family of medications and is used for short term treatment of anxiety, insomnia. With long term use (longer than the 3 months you are using it for) it can result in spasm of the eye muscle. In rare cases it can cause a rash. It is less likely to cause tolerance and dependence when compared to the other medications such as lorazepam or valium.
Franxit medication is a combination of two medications that are supposed to have an antidepressant effect. It is also used only in the short term. It is not used for long term treatment like the other anti depressants.
When the franit starts working and helping the symptoms of depression, you may not need the etizola to sleep.
Sleep often improves with mood.
I hope this helps
