Is It A Sleeping Pill

Drug Category

Hypnotic (also called soporific) drugs are a class of psychoactives whose primary function is to induce sleep[1] and to be used in the treatment of insomnia, and in surgical anesthesia. When used in anesthesia to produce and maintain unconsciousness, "sleep" is metaphorical as there are no regular sleep stages or cyclical natural states; patients rarely recover from anesthesia feeling refreshed and with renewed energy. Because drugs in this class generally produce dose-dependent effects, rang...

I have been given Purata as a subsittute for Fluntrazpam which was suddenly taken off the market. I have a severe sleeping disorder that kept me on Fluntrazpan for 24 years. Purata is not performing the function and as a consequence I am being vert sleep deprived. What other medication is available to perform the function of Fluntrazpan that you can recommend ? I am 79 years old ! ## I am in South Africa where I have found the Purtata prescribed to be totally inadequate to aliviate insomnia, but I have found Dormicum and Arem to be adequate substitutes for Royhepnol and Fluntrazpam......... Arem is one fith the cost of Dormicium here but may go under different names elsewhere.

I'm want to sleep with out hearing or feeling a thing ## Hello, Reaks! How are you? That is not possible. Your body is always aware. No matter how deeply you sleep, your body will always feel or hear something, even if you don't remember it, when you wake up. Is there anything else I can help with?

I will be highley obeliged to you ## We used G-Monster Saturday night; I used one serving and so did my girlfriend. My girlfriend got totally different effects from the product than I did.

white round pill with AR 627 printed on one side ## I believe the marking may have actually been AN 627 and the tablet contains 50mgs of Tramadol which is a centrally acting analgesic. It isn't generally used to help with sleep related problems, but it can cause some drowsiness as a side effects, along with nausea, dizziness and dry mouth. It also has the potential to be habit forming. Learn more Tramadol details here. Are there any questions or comments?

Hi everyone. I'm just wondering which medication most of you consider to be the best sleep aid? Of course I've heard of the ever popular Ambien, Lunesta, etc. There are also over the counter products such as Tylenol PM and Advil PM which combine Diphenhydramine with Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen respectively. Lastly, there are certain natural treatments to help one sleep such as Melatonin. I'm looking for a consensus as to which one you think would be the most effective with the least side effects. Any thoughts appreciated!

L slash U on one side and on the other side w22 ## Hi, Jen! How are you/ This actually contains 10mgs of Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant, it can cause some drowsiness as a side effect, but it's not actually a sleeping pill. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Learn more Escitalopram details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

IS TEVA 74 MADE OF THE SAME COMPOUND AS AMBIEN, OR DOES IT HAVE SLIGHT VARIATION..?? ## The pill in description is Zolpidem (10 mg), which is actually the generic for Ambien; however Generic Zolpidem is approved for the short-term (usually about two to six weeks) treatment of insomnia while Ambien CR is approved for long-term use….so I am assuming it may not be exactly one in the same (having a slight variation as you mentioned). NOTE: Zolpidem has not proven effective in maintaining sleep and is more used for sleep initiation problems. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

I want to know is there any sleeping pill named as relaxan (or something similar) ## something like Melatonin but targets sleeping better. Begins with R I think. ## Methedone withdrawal. I got banned from the MDC whilst on 45mls. I went to the doctor and she gave me Tramadol, Pregablin and oramoroph. I'm already on zopiclone, Valium and a few other meds. Can anyone please tell me how much Oramorph I should take for withdrawals. Dr said a teaspoon but my tolerance is way too high for that to have any effect. Thanks for any answers ## Sorry I wrote this in the wrong place but yeah zopiclone are probably best for sleeping if you can handle the taste! ## ihave been taking Rystyl 0.25 two tablets at bed time since last 25 years but now iam not getting sleep by above dose. kindly advice a...

name of sleeping tablets starting with A ## Hi helen, Ambien is the most common brand name I can think of in this drug category. In clinical trials Ambien has not adequately demonstrated effectiveness in maintaining sleep (unless delivered in a controlled-release form); however, it is effective in initiating sleep. Another brand name is Ativan, which is more geared towards relaxing and relieving anxiety. Is there a specific name you're looking for? ## Sleeping pill dene ke bad kitna der tak eska aser rahata hai......plz tell me

i have found some pills that are quite small and have z075 stamped on them. what are they?? ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm finding is identified as Risperidone 1 mg. This particular pill is white; round; marked with ZC75 as opposed to Z075. Perhaps the "C" was mistaken for a "0"? Manufacturer: Zydus Pharmaceuticals National Drug Code (NDC): 68382-0114 Size: 6.00 mm Respiridone is not a sleeping pill, but is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and behavior problems in people with autism. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Risperidone Details I hope this helps!
