Work on the solutions of your real problem. I provide different solutions telephone mode. Restyl 0.5 mg tablet may be taken with or without food. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor as it has a high potential of habit-forming. If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. This medication mustn't be stopped suddenly without talking to the doctor as it may cause nausea and anxiety. The most common side effect of this medicine is lightheadedness. It may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. It may also cause weight gain or weight loss as it can vary from person to person. To prevent weight gain you can eat a healthy balanced diet, avoid snacking with high-calorie foods, and exercise regularly. Weight loss can be managed by increasing food portions and consulting a dietitian. If you have been taking this medicine for a long time then regular monitoring of blood and liver functions may be required.

Instead of worrying about the dosage, why don't you do some practical things to help you get sleep? The lack of sleep, i.e. Sleep for less than 6 hours per night, is directly linked to about 86 diseases! so let us first focus on that. In your case particularly, do not sleep during the day; don?t even lie down. Go for regular exercise (breathing through your nostrils only) at a fixed time (at about 6 am) every day, whether you sleep or not. You must develop this habit of sleeping by 10 pm latest every night and wake up at a uniform time by 6 am every morning, even if you do not get sleep. If you do not get sleep, just lie down and if you have a bed lamp (or you could get one) lie down and read something light but not exciting. Your eyes will tire and you will fall asleep. If you like you may also put on light and soft music with the sleep function on. Depending on whether you are a visual or auditory person, you may watch tv in a lying down position until you feel sleepy. Have a warm bath before going to bed (for some people a cold bath at night seems to induce sleep! if you are one of them, please do so). Place the head side of your bed in a north-south position. The room must be as dark as possible and there should be no electronic items that give off even a light led glow. There must be ample ventilation in the room. Avoid strong odors, except lavender, on your body or in the room, or on your sheets and clothes. There should not be any live plants in your bedroom. Sleep with the lightest of clothes or without any clothing. When lying down to sleep, lie down on your left ear as much as possible. Do not sleep directly under an overhead fan. You must eat a good breakfast, a fairly light lunch, and an early dinner, which should be a very light meal. Whatever you eat in the other meals, have only a pure carbohydrate meal at night with any vegetables, and preferably before 8 pm. Do not drink much liquids after or near about dinner time. If you know emotional freedom technique or eft (check this out either on youtube or google), then please practice this too for sleep induction. Self-hypnosis and slow relaxation techniques, at night will be tremendously useful. Acupuncture or acupressure will both be very useful too. You can also try the 4-7-8 breathing pattern, which is to breathe in for four counts, hold your breath for 7 counts and exhale with a whoosh sound for 8 counts. This is to be done four times at a time first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and any number of times during the day. While doing this exercise place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. The effects will be seen after a few days. Pray last thing at night before you sleep.

Dear Saranya, Restyl is not a sleeping tablet. It reduces some amount of anxiety so that you can sleep better. Don't go on increasing the dose on your own. Personal problems can be solved by therapy. Depression, if it is clinically diagnosed, can be treated with antidepressant tablets. Restyl is only a temporary tablet till therapy or antidepressant take action.

lybrate-user looks like you are developing tolerance to the benzodiazepine you are using. That means needing more dose to get the same effect. You may develop withdrawal features like restlessness anxiety etc if you stop the drug. These are signs of addiction. Better you consult a psychiatrist and don’t use sedatives with out consultation in future. Best wishes.

Get outdoors - go out, meet people, go to social gatherings, beaches, malls, parks anywhere where you can interact and talk with other people. Staying alone only makes memories and feelings haunt your mind. That?s the last thing you want right now. Talk it out - confess everything to a close friend or family member. Someone that you trust. Don?t keep and endure all the pain inside. Cry - nothing is wrong with crying. Its a way to release the pain. Listen to music / go for drives - listening to loud music that you love and going for long drives can help alot. Music is food for the soul. Get a hobby / keep yourself occupied - find something to take your mind off what happened. Become goal oriented, focus on your job, maybe take up a course of study, join a gym, anything to let time pass by. Indulge yourself - treat yourself, buy new clothes, dress nicely, buy yourself things you like. Look sharp and sexy. You want eyes to be on you. Counselling - if you feel you can not endure the pain and are having suicidal thoughts please don?t be ashamed to seek out extra help in the form of counselling. Get a pet - they call them mans best friend for a reason. Cats are awesome too. Finally, love yourself. You are unique, special and one of a kind individual. You should always love who you are more than you love anyone. Just remember, whoever let you go, its their loss!
