        This is completely up to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques are effective regardless of whether you are taking medication or not.

        You might find this video helpful: Does cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) work if you are taking sleeping pills?

        When I work one-on-one with clients, most start to taper-off (or eliminate) their use of sleeping pills as they start to regain confidence in their natural ability to sleep as they progress.

        It’s important not to make any changes to your medication regimen without talking to your doctor first.

        I hope this helps!
