I need to know how to taper off eszopiclone gradually at 1.5 mgs? i'm 79 years old and have had insomnia for a long time. i've tried natural supplements and sleep gummies which don't work for me at all?

More info would be helpful-like the reason for tapering off, how long you have been taking it, etc. so the best person to guide you is the doctor who prescribed it. In general, this medication can typically be decreased by 1mg every week or every other week. You should do this under the care of your doctor. Best of luck to you!!
