Hello

Zolfresh is not harmful as such withno serious side effects other than dependence.

If the drug is helping you, you can take it safely.

However, I would also suggest you to practice some sleep hygiene habbits. With this, you can even wean off from zolfresh.

Avoid daytime naps.
Dont consume tea coffee alcohol in evening and afterwards.
Avoid heavy fatty meals at bedtime.
Practice deep breathing and meditation to relax your mind.

These will help you to sleep better.
Thanks.
