Prescriptions and sobriety (newcomer question)

I have been disabled for years and relying on (prescription) for sleep. I really want to taper off it so I have the desire to stop, but it's going to take time. It's not so easy for me. I can't fall back on exercise and keeping busy because I'm in a wheelchair as it is. Sleep is the only thing that helps my symptoms. Disturbed sleep is a fast track to a big flare and being too ill for hobbies or daily life.

Can any veterans advise the best way forward. I don't want to take the piss, I am trying to do recovery safely for me. Do I just stay away until I'm off the (prescription). Do I go anyway and keep quiet about it. I'm sober from alcohol and everything except this 1 thing.
