Why Taking Perscription Sleeping Medication can be Bad for Your Health
The stresses and strains of everyday living can leave a lot of people feeling very tired. However, not everyone can benefit from a healthy nights sleep and in lots of circumstances they turn to all sorts of pills to help them sleep.
Although there are numerous sleeping pills available through your doctor, a lot of them are not without side effects, some of which could be potentially very crippling to your well being.
The variation of side effects can range from drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. To the hardcore effects where depression can be triggered.
There is another sleeping pill by the name of Zolpidem. It is also known as Ambien and the Ambien side effects can lead to any one of the following:
* Anterograde amnesia
* Hallucinations , through all physical senses, of varying intensity
* Delusions
* Altered thought patterns
* Ataxia or poor motor coordination , difficulty maintaining balance
* Euphoria and/or dysphoria
* Increased appetite
* Increased libido
* Amnesia
* Impaired judgment and reasoning
* Increased impulsivity
* When stopped, rebound insomnia may occur
* Headaches, in some people
For example the Rozerem side effects in 2% of cases can lead to depression. Considering that some people may already have been suffering through sleep loss, potentially due to depression then sleeping pills like Rozerem should be avoided.
Other pills such as Lunesta, known as Eszopiclone, can result to things like unpleasant bitter or metallic taste, headaches, chest pain, cold-like symptoms, body pains, dry mouth, daytime drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness
As you can see with just a handfull of perscription pills covered in this post it’s clear to see that some of the estanlished pills can lead to numerous nasty side effects.
So are there any alternatives and what should you be considering.
You can also opt for herbal varieties and although in some cases they are not as effective as perscription pills, at least you’ll have more peace of mind.
