Welcome to the forum, Jocorro and I am sorry to hear about your struggles with sleep. As I think you are realizing, sleeping pills are not a long-term solution for insomnia since they don’t address the root cause of insomnia.

If you are keen to get off the sleeping pills, I would suggest looking into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and, as you regain confidence in your ability to sleep, you might want to talk to your doctor about a tapering-off plan for the pills.

I hope this helps!
