People who suffer from insomnia often encounter one of the most nagging questions: What should we use to treat it? Should I take sleeping pills, what should I do if I am dependent on them? Some doctors say I can take them, others say I can’t. Who should I listen to? Should I use exercise? Physical therapy? Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine? Western medicine? Sleeping pills? Psychotherapy? Of course, the relaxation therapy (that is, relaxation training) and exercise therapy in psychotherapy are suitable for any kind of insomnia. 1, occasional insomnia A few days of insomnia because of work pressure, sleep is not deep, sleep difficulties, is the body’s self-protection mechanism, a physiological anxiety, do not need special treatment. The main thing is not to panic. Because the initial psychological mechanism of many insomnia patients are from panic. 2, stage insomnia Nearly 1 month or so, intermittent sleep has been poor sleep. Daytime work is a bit strenuous, accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, lack of concentration and other symptoms. You can do physical therapy (massage, foot washing, lavender, drinking milk, etc.) can also use some proprietary Chinese medicine, recommended more classic old brand, An Shen tonic brain liquid (Jilin Aodong), Wu Ling capsule and so on. Can also be treated with Chinese medicine. 3, frequent insomnia bad sleep for more than a few months, difficulty falling asleep, early awakening, sleep is not deep in a particularly prominent. 1 week there are more than 4 days of bad sleep. Accompanied by reduced work ability, dizziness and headache, and even memory loss, temper becomes irritable. Anxiety and depression may be present, and it is recommended to go to the mental health department for further identification. Chinese medicine can certainly be eaten, if the treatment effect is not good, or even the trend of aggravation, you can use some antidepressants with less dependence on side effects (Shuhelian, Mirtazapine, Meprobamate), but also under the guidance of a doctor can use (Sinox, Zopiclone) and other hypnotic drugs. Remember, take them under doctor’s guidance and also stop them under doctor’s guidance. This type of drug dependence is very small, it can be said that basically no dependence, but abuse will have dependence. 4.Severe insomnia More than half a year, Chinese medicine treatment is not ideal, physical therapy can relieve, but can not solve the essential problems, basic daily sleep is not good, accompanied by obvious memory loss, negative light thoughts, or personality change is obvious, seriously affect life and work. Here to emphasize one point: it is very likely that the insomnia is caused by diseases: such as depression, anxiety, lung disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hormonal abnormalities, etc.! The most common of these is depression. Many people are experiencing relatively large stimuli (lost love, shock, cheating, economic crisis, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, deep stock speculation, etc.), began to develop, from the original short-term insomnia, slowly turning into severe insomnia. The most important thing for this kind of insomnia is the etiological treatment method. Do a routine physical examination and do a depression assessment. Find the cause of the disease and treat it. If it is clear that it is depression, you can take antidepressants such as “Lysop, Mirtazapine”, and in the early stages of the disease, you can use “Valium” drugs under the guidance of the doctor. 5, persistent insomnia Persistent insomnia, some people are congenital insomnia, any drug can not play a special effect, this category of people often have a serious Valium dependence. First, learn to accept your situation, just as some people have congenital diabetes, and don’t develop too much pessimism. Secondly, do not use sleeping pills alone, because they alone will make you take more and more. It is recommended that antidepressants or antipsychotics can be used in combination.
