I am so concerned about my 55 yr old husband. He has been on mitazapine for five years at least. Severe insomnia presented itself afte TMS treatment 1 year ago. The drug no longer helps him sleep n he takes 30 mg n also the highest legal dose of Zanex- and he can t stay asleep, he wakes after 2-3 hrs and ides restless all night thereafter. He has slurred speech, memory loss- ST... And he is having flashbacks to a home we used to live in n can t find things in current home as he looks in wrong cabinets etc. he thought our dog was a live who passed away 2013. He doesn t think anything will hep n sleep study results were negative.? Any thoughts? I think he is addicted to these drugs ?

Hi,
As the first line of management, you can try newer drugs like Zolpidem (Zolfresh) is the brand. Which is safe and quite effective.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
