"i have taken dalmane 15 mg. since i had breast cancer in 2008.worked great getting to sleep and staying asleep. i continued using it since i had several surgeries in the past years. this year i wanted to stop taking it. i didn&#039;t know after 4-5 weeks you are tooked on them, they are that addictive.it took me almost 3 months to ween myself off them with my doctors help. dropping a night use every two weeks and using benadryl on that night until i wasn&#039;t using them anymore. i would try another med. if i never they were do had to stop."
