A member asked:
What to do if i have insomnia, and have been taking it for three years, is it advisable to take it at a overnight economy flight of 9 hours ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taking what ?: You don't say what you've been taking for 3 years.. In general, one should not take a sleep med long term, rather address the issues of sleep hygiene, or other underlying cause of your insomnia.
