A typical schedule is 1 tablet at bedtime. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while taking ProSom. If you have ever had seizures, do not abruptly stop taking ProSom, even if you are taking antiseizure medication. Instead, taper off from ProSom under your doctor's supervision. Even if you have never had seizures, it is better to taper off from ProSom than to stop taking the medication abruptly.
Experience suggests that tapering off can help prevent drug withdrawal symptoms.
Typically, the only withdrawal symptoms caused by ProSom are mild and temporary insomnia or irritability. Occasionally, however, withdrawal can involve considerable discomfort or even danger, with symptoms such as abdominal and muscle cramps, convulsions, sweating, tremors, and vomiting. Take at bedtime only as needed. It is not necessary to make up a missed dose. Store at room temperature.
