I do know that you have never supposed to be on them long term Well that’s what my Dad was told about 8 years ago he was given a very limited supply to help him through a difficult period and then that was it.
It certainly will be difficult after 25 years I would seriously try to never get involved with prescription sleeping pills He will need to get his body completely retrained

Dear Grans, My DH has been on Zoplicone 7.5mg for 25 years, which has given him many years of 'normal sleep'. He doesn't suffer from any side effects albeit the odd slight drowsiness. This week he heard from our GP that he can't prescribe it any longer as it is classified as a class A drug, very addictive. We are a bit lost atm, even our pharmacist is unaware of the ban!! Has anybody had a similar experience. Are all sleeping pills banned now? Finding a plant alternative is going to be challenging...
