Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that currently you became dependent on trika which needs to be treated. It is quite possible that the sleeping difficulty you get while not using trika is reflecting withdrawal symptoms of trika rather than the real problem with sleep.
In my view you need to stop trika under medical supervision so you do not get any difficulty. It is expected that with proper treatment of addiction you will be able to sleep without any medication.



'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
