Reducing Sleeping Pills and Anti-Anxiety Medication

Sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medications have sedative effects, and combining them with other sedating substances can worsen daytime drowsiness and dizziness. So when combining with herbal medicine, it's essential to accurately inform us of all medications and supplements you're taking. If you're tapering, please also share which medication you're reducing and at what pace, so we can design a prescription that doesn't conflict. Above all, these medications must not be stopped on your own-tapering must always proceed under the guidance of your prescribing doctor.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

At Dongjedang, we check your current medications and tapering stage during the visit to tailor the prescription so it doesn't conflict, and if needed, we also advise on separating dosing times. Once your condition stabilizes, we work together with the prescribing doctor to gradually adjust the plan, while Korean medicine focuses on buffering rebound insomnia during that process.
