Why Taking Perscription Sleeping Pills can be Bad for Your Well being
There are just so many things today that leave us feeling stressed and tired. However, not everyone can benefit from a proper nights sleep and for a lot of people they turn to a whole host of perscription sleeping pills.
Although there are lots of sleeping pills which you can get through your doctor, a large majority of them are not without side effects, some of which could be potentially very crippling to your health.
The type of side effects can range from drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. To the hardcore effects which in some cases lead to depression.
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 something 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
It’s obvious 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 lots of undesirable side effects.
So what types of sleeping pills should you be careful with and what are the alternatives.
You can also opt for herbal varieties and although in some cases they are not as good as as perscription pills, at least you’ll know there are no nasty effects waiting for you around the corner.
