Help. I just found out that my best friend as an addiction for sleeping tablets called Stilnox. She doesn't only take them to help her sleep but she takes them evey day soon after she awakes. She takes about 5 a day. I keep trying to her she don't need them but she is adamant she does and can't stop. I don't know how to help as I don't know much about Stilnox and the effects it has on you. But this is serious as she has been on them of 5 years now. She is on and off depressed and I'm sure its due to her addiction.
