I posted about this on another thread.

I've been on sleeping tablets for over 5 years to treat my chronic insomnia but I'm about to run out of them.

The Doctor who had me on the sleeping tablets is now retired and my new Doctor will not prescribe me any sleeping tablets.

I had a sleep study done that showed that I can not sleep normally I think this is because I had a brain tumor.

Does anyone know how I can legitimately get sleeping tablets prescribed long term ?

Without any sleeping tablets I simply can not function not because I'm addicted to them but because my sleep is so bad.

MOD: Prescription help beyond our scope. Seek 2nd opinion from another doctor?
