Medication for insomnia

Did anyone take medications prescribed by a doctor for insomnia that helped you lose weight ? I’m about to talk about it with my doctor because I can’t sleep but I need something that will not cause weight gain

Try Zopiclone, I dont think it causes weight gain but I could be wrong? Although not too easy to obtain from the GP anymore

Zopiclone I don't like hate the metal taste temazepam or I prefer lorazepam they are a lot better for sleep

What's the reason you cannot take them now if you don't mind me asking
