Specializes in Psychiatry

Best not to: Combining sleep meds unless specifically prescribed as such by your doctor is not indicated. Best to address why the eszopiclone is not working or if it is only a one night problem. Always clarify what the particular sleep problem - not all insomnia is the same nor treated the same.
