Sleeping Pills Good or Bad

Insomnia bedevils almost everyone. Unfortunately chronic sleep difficulties appear in genetically susceptible individuals often coupled with superimposing factors (stress) and perpetuated by poor sleep habits. Short term use of generic versions of Ambien, Lunesta, Restoril, Halcion and other still patented drugs provide at least short term benefit with potentially fewer side effects compared to over-the-counter antihistamines such as Advil PM, Tylenol PM, Sominex and Unisom.

Finally a Doctor took me seriously and gave me Rhovane and I became a normal person and joined the human race and could be a proper parent. I have never looked back and will always be great full to my Doctor.

    @Michael Stec I know, mate. I've been on it for ten years, 1mg pills. I took it because of insomnia and anxiety (I am an ex H addict) and it worked great. Soon after a year, I completely lost control on it, and two pills at night became five, six, ten, during all the day. So I switched on clonazepam, which is longer lasting, and it's used for short half-life benzos addiction like alprazolam, lorazepam, etc. Well, now I'm fkd up! Beware mate, take care! Cheers

I can sleep as late as I want. My Dr started me on 3 mg which got me a few hours sleep. So I took it with a couple 1mg Klonopin. So now I'm taking 9mg of Lunesta at night and it works well. Is there a med I can take a normal dose and get some sleep? I really like your videos. Thank you. Happy Easter.

    All insomnia medications are meant to be used for no more than a week, but the truth is we may need them for an extended period of time while the cause of insomnia is being addressed. That's just reality. They're bad for us, but chronic insomnia may be much worse for us. It may take a relatively long time to solve the insomnia problem.
