If you visit your doctor and complain about insomnia, he or she may prescribe a sleep aid such as Librium, Xanax or Valium. These prescription sleep aids are called benzodiazepines. They have a sedative and hypnotic effect. Benzodiazepines also have certain side effects. They can, for example, cause physical dependence. The body also develops a tolerance to these drugs, so that after a while you may need to take more to get the same impact. In addition, studies have found that people who stop taking them experience withdrawal symptoms.
Many people are reluctant to use these types of medications because of the risk of dependency and other associated side effects. If you are having trouble sleeping but don’t want to use prescription sleep aids, you might wish to consider using one of the herbal remedies for insomnia. Most of these herbal remedies have been used to treat insomnia for hundreds of years.
