Can the dosage of Eszopiclone Tablets be increased for treating neurasthenia?

Neurotic patients generally should not increase the dosage of eszopiclone tablets when taking them. Eszopiclone tablets are non-benzodiazepine hypnotics primarily used to treat insomnia caused by various diseases. Although it can be used to improve insomnia symptoms in patients with neurasthenia, increasing the dosage may elevate the risk of adverse drug reactions and cause harmful effects on the body.

In addition to pharmacological treatment, a comprehensive treatment approach should be considered for neurasthenia, including adjustments to sleep habits, lifestyle, and diet. Concurrent use of neurotrophic medications and calming traditional Chinese medicine preparations may also help improve the overall condition of the patient.

Patients should strictly follow medical instructions when taking eszopiclone tablets, including adhering to prescribed timing and dosage. Self-adjustment of dosage or discontinuation of the medication is not recommended. If insomnia symptoms worsen or other adverse symptoms occur, patients should seek medical attention promptly, allowing the physician to adjust the treatment plan according to the clinical condition.

Self-increasing the medication dosage may lead to increased side effects, such as daytime drowsiness, memory impairment, and increased risk of falls. In severe cases, it may even cause drug dependence or withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, patients must strictly follow medical advice, and regular follow-up visits are necessary for physicians to evaluate therapeutic efficacy and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
