I have taken pregaba nt for more than year due to neuro muscle pain and insomnia. Now I want to get rid of this tablet but had a difficultly to sleep without this medicine. Doctor suggested to take lonazep 0.5 mg at night. Is it a alternate medicine compare to pregaba nt and is it possible to get rid of lonazep at later point. I am looking for a non habit forming sleep aid. Please suggest.

Dear lybrate-user, relax and calm down, you should not have given up pregaba in the first place as it was meant to treat your neuro-muscular pain and it takes time for it to do so. Lonazep on the other hand is a more sedating drug so if you make a habit of taking lonazep you will find much more difficult in leaving it plus it would have no effect on your neuro-muscular pain. Please therefore consult a general physician as early as possible.
