Which drugs are used for Insomnia ?
Mainly two classes...
Benzodiazepines hypnotics & Non-Benzodiazepine hypnotics
1. Benzodiazepines hypnotics
Nitrazepam , Flurazepam, Loprazolam, Lormetazepam, Temazepam....
Nitrazepam , Flurazepam, Loprazolam, Lormetazepam, Temazepam....
2. Non-Benzodiazepine hypnotics
Zaleplon, Zolpidem Tartrate, Zopiclone...
Also, Could be Chloral and derivatives....
which it seems like their role as hypnotics is now very limited.
Antihistamine is used as well...
I want you guys to comment those following drugs....
Any experience... or any personal opinion...

Personally, while I was doing my placement, I noticed that there were loads of Rxs saying temazepam or zopiclone...so I saw these drups a lot...
using temazepam should be careful. it should only be used in short term, as the patients could be addicted to it.
