HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, once you have stop taking the sedative medicine then better to stay away from this, of course it may be difficult for you for some time but once you tolerate the pain of uneasiness without the sleep and once you gain the reality return to your confidence you would be having natural sleep again, be patience and no need to worry about this, try some hot milk prior to bed, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
