Top 10 Sleeping Pills for Insomnia Treatment

Posted by MedicossPharmacy on January 25th, 2023

Your doctor may prescribe a sleeping pill for your insomnia treatment. The following are the most commonly prescribed sleeping pills for insomnia.

Valium - Diazepam.

Diazepam Tablets is a benzodiazepine that's used to treat anxiety and insomnia. It's also a controlled substance, meaning you'll need a prescription from your doctor in order to get it.

It's important to note that valium is a short-acting drug. This means that it doesn't last very long, so you'll need to take more than one pill if you want relief from your symptoms for longer than eight hours at a time (that said, many people report feeling the effects of their first dose still lingering 12 hours later).

As with any sleeping pill, using valium can cause drowsiness, dizziness and confusion when taken before bedtime—so be sure not to drive or operate heavy machinery after taking this medication!

Zopiclone.

Zopiclone 7.5 mg Tablets is a sedative and hypnotic drug used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and panic disorders. It is also called Imovane in Australia and New Zealand, Zimovane in South Africa, Zimulti in Europe (except the UK), and Zopiklon in Hungary.

It belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). The drug works by acting on receptors for GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a chemical that helps regulate sleep.

Nitrazepam.

Nitrazepam is a benzodiazepine used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, anxiety disorders and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It may also be used as a premedication before surgery or other procedures, to induce sedation.

Nitrazepam should not be taken by people who have had an allergic response to nitrazepam or any other benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium) or lorazepam (Ativan), or any type of depressant drugs such as alcohol, narcotics (opioids), barbiturates and sleep medications. These medicines may cause dangerous reactions if taken with each other.

Mogadon.

Mogadon is a prescription-only medication that works as a muscle relaxant. It's used to treat insomnia or to help you sleep if you have pain in your muscles or joints.

How it works

Mogadon is thought to work by acting on the central nervous system, reducing anxiety and helping you feel relaxed so that you can fall asleep.

Side effects

The most common side effect of Mogadon is drowsiness, which may last for several hours after taking the drug. Other common side effects include: feeling sick / nauseous; feeling light-headed; headaches; dizziness; blurred vision; indigestion / heartburn (dyspepsia).

Temazepam

Temazepam is a benzodiazepine, which is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for insomnia. It works by relaxing the muscles in your body and helping you sleep more deeply than you would without it. Because of its effectiveness at helping people get to sleep and stay asleep, temazepam has been used by people with sleep-related problems since 1975.

Temazepam should not be taken with alcohol or other sedatives because they can cause severe drowsiness or dizziness that may lead to falls or car accidents. You should also avoid taking this medication if you have liver disease or kidney disease, as it can further damage these organs. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding—or suspect that you might be pregnant—talk to your doctor before using any sleeping pills; temazepam is known to cause birth defects when taken during pregnancy.[1]

Ativan.

Ativan is a benzodiazepine that has been used for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia and other sleep disorders. As a sedative, it may be helpful for people who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night.

Ativan can also be combined with other medications, such as antidepressants, to treat certain types of depression. It is important to note that Ativan isn't approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this use but it has been shown to be effective in treating depression in some people when other drugs haven’t worked well enough on their own.

The most common side effects associated with Ativan include: dizziness; fatigue; headache; drowsiness; dry mouth; constipation; respiratory problems (bronchitis); nausea/vomiting.; blurred vision or double vision (); tingling in arms or legs (); muscle cramps ().

Ambien/Stilnox - Zolpidem Tartrate.

Ambien/Stilnox is a prescription drug used to treat insomnia. It belongs to the sedative-hypnotic class of medications, which are often prescribed to help people get to sleep or stay asleep through the night.

Ambien/Stilnox can be addictive, even when taken as directed. If you find yourself taking this medication longer than you should and have become dependent on it for sleep, talk with your doctor about possible treatment options for addiction and withdrawal symptoms.

The most common side effects associated with Ambien/Stilnox include headache (including hangover), dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting (especially after missing a dose), constipation or diarrhea (mostly in older adults).

Tranxene - Clorazepate Dipotassium.

Tranxene, a brand name for clorazepate dipotassium, is used to treat insomnia. It works by slowing down the activity of the nerves and muscles in the body. This helps to reduce anxiety and tension that may be keeping you awake at night.

Tranxene comes in tablet form and can be taken by mouth with or without food. When taking this drug, it’s important to follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully so that you don't take too much or too little at one time.

The most common side effects with Tranxene include dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; blurred vision; stomach upset (nausea); constipation; headache and trouble sleeping (insomnia). If these side effects persist or worsen over time then talk with your healthcare provider about adjusting your dosage accordingly."

Phenergan - Promethazine Hydrochloride.

Phenergan is a sedative/antihistamine that was originally formulated to treat nausea, vomiting and allergic reactions. Phenergan is available in syrup, suppositories and tablets. The medication should be taken with food or milk to reduce the risk of drowsiness or dizziness.

Phenergan works by blocking the effects of histamine in the body which results in relaxing smooth muscles such as those found in your digestive tract and airway. This then leads to reduced symptoms such as pain due to inflammation or swelling caused by allergies (such as hay fever).

Tranks - Benzodiazepines.

These are also known as benzodiazepines. They are sedatives and hypnotics that act on the brain to produce a calming effect. Benzodiazepines can be used for insomnia treatment, anxiety or muscle spasms.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, unsteady gait or trembling hands after taking these pills. The most common side effect is impaired coordination which may affect your ability to drive safely if you have been drinking alcohol or taking any other medications that cause drowsiness such as antidepressants or antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl).
