Sleep Soundly with Safe & Effective Medication
Medications can be an effective short-term solution for treating insomnia, especially when lifestyle changes or therapy alone are not enough. They help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and improve sleep quality. However, medications are not a long-term cure and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Somnium Sleep offers a range of sleeping medications, including prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), and anxiety-related options. Each works differently with its own benefits and risks. We help you choose the right one and use it safely.Types of Insomnia Medications
Medicines of insomnia are divided into three main categories: prescription drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids, and medications for anxiety. Each type targets different aspects of sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or anxiety-related insomnia. A sleep specialist can help you determine which medication is best for your specific needs.
1. Prescription Insomnia Medications
Prescription medications are often used for short-term treatment of severe insomnia. Examples include zolpidem (Ambien), eszopiclone (Lunesta), and ramelteon (Rozerem). These drugs help regulate sleep cycles or promote relaxation but should be used cautiously due to potential side effects like dependency.
2. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Sleep Medications
OTC sleep aids, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine (Unisom), are widely available and can help with occasional sleeplessness. However, they may cause drowsiness the next day and are not recommended for long-term use.
3. Medications for Anxiety and Insomnia
Medications like benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax) or antidepressants (e.g., trazodone) are sometimes included in insomnia prescription caused by anxiety or depression. These medications help calm the mind and improve sleep but require careful monitoring due to potential side effects.
