Hi I had a bad incident in my life after which I started using sedatives ie restyl 0.5 mg (4 tabs) a day. Which one my friend who is a nurse would get that for me every time. Now she is transferred to other district. It is becoming very difficult for me to live without them. Also have symptoms like sweating, anxiety sleeplessness. Can I go to a general physician and ask for a prescription on this. Would they give me the prescription. Please help how can I get them. Thanks!

Dear, any physician would be able to give you a prescription for restyl. Be open about your current dosing. Sudden withdrawal from sedatives can be dangerous. It is also important that we treat the dependence you have developed on restyl. Consider contacting a psychiatrist, they will help you slowly and safely reduce your dependence on restyl. Take care.

I am not sure who got you hooked onto sleeping pills. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal anxiety, sweating, agitation and even seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your sleep evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the sleeping pills and give pills which promote sleep by acting on the cause of sleep disturbance, he may also educate you on sleep hygiene.
