Hello, I kindly ask for help. I take a lot of sedative pills for depression, although I also add the so-called Polsen or Nasen to them. I don't know why, but the drug stopped working after a few weeks. Please kindly help me what to do about it? Can they be combined with each other, Polsen with other drugs to enhance its effects, or not combined? Best regards

Below you will find important information about the use of Nasen/Polsen:
'Long-term use of NASEN is not recommended. Treatment should be as short as possible. The duration of use should not exceed 4 weeks, including the period of gradual dose reduction. In some cases, it may be necessary to extend the treatment period
beyond the maximum recommended period of four weeks, however, the extension of the treatment period cannot occur without reassessment of the patient's clinical status due to an increase in the risk of abuse and development of dependence with the duration of treatment."
"If sedatives and hypnotics such as zolpidem are used for more than a few weeks, there may be a decrease in their hypnotic effects."
Do not combine Nasen/Polsen with other tranquilizers because of the increased risk of side effects. I encourage you to take a holistic approach to the topic: proper preparation for sleep, proper life hygiene, limiting the phone/internet/TV, taking care of physical activity and nutrition. It is worth considering psychotherapy.
Abrupt discontinuation of Nasen/Polsen may increase anxiety and insomnia. You should gradually reduce the use of this medicine, preferably under the supervision of a doctor.
