Suggest Medication For Sleeplessness

i am a senior with copd and have been on sleeping pills for quite a few years which have . proven to give me a good nights sleep most of the time. i have moved and do not have yet a doctor i can say would be my doctor but went to a clinic and was prescribed traZODone HCI 50mg. I have used them for 2 nights and the first night no sleep last night maybe 3 hrs intermittent and with a lack of sleep does not make my breathing any easier. I am searching for a pemanent doctor but as yet no luck, just wondered if there is a better sleeping pill you would recomend..

Hello,

As you need a sleeping pill, best is nitrazepam. Other good options are clonazepam or etiozolam.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
