Insomnia

Which drugs are used for Insomnia ?

Mainly two classes...

Benzodiazepines hypnotics & Non-Benzodiazepine hypnotics

1. Benzodiazepines hypnotics
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...
