First of all, what are the main causes of insomnia? With the development of society, fierce competition in the market, the relative tension in interpersonal relationships, invariably brings huge pressure on people’s mind and body, although there are many causes of insomnia, but the vast majority of insomniacs are caused by anxiety under strong mental pressure. Second, a longer period of insomnia will bring what kind of impact on people? From the psychological point of view: insomnia can produce fatigue, tiredness, mood will also become restless, concentration is difficult, memory, thinking agility will also be reduced, behavior will also be affected. From the physiological point of view: long-term insomnia can cause endocrine disorders, abnormal body sensations (such as fear of cold, sweating, generalized fever, etc.). Heart function changes (such as tachycardia, premature beats, even atrial fibrillation, etc.), hypertension, diabetes and other heart-born diseases are also prone to produce, therefore, insomnia is definitely in need of treatment. Third, what is the best way to treat insomnia? The best way to treat insomnia is not sleeping pills, not to mention herbal medicine and health care products, but anti-anxiety combined with sleep guidance. Fourth, can sleeping pills be used? Ambien is a drug that can quickly and effectively improve sleep and anxiety. It can be used as one of the effective drugs for early treatment of insomniacs. V. Do sleeping pills have addiction and dependence? Long-term use of sleeping pills can produce dependence, addiction and tolerance, and can also inhibit breathing, cause memory loss, and have side effects such as muscle relaxation. Sixth, since sleeping pills are addictive and dependent, why would doctors choose them? Generally speaking, when patients come to the hospital, they will first be given sleep instruction (psychotherapy), and then doctors will give anti-anxiety drugs according to their symptoms, because anti-anxiety drugs take two weeks to work, so in order to quickly relieve insomnia, they will combine small doses of sleeping pills in the early stage of treatment, and during the treatment process, they will slowly stop using sleeping pills. Seven, why can’t the patient stop the sleeping medication? First, before patients come to the hospital, they have been taking sleeping pills for a long time, and second, during the treatment process, many patients think that sleeping pills are cheap and stop using other anti-anxiety drugs without permission, however, patients can only rely on sleeping pills to relieve anxiety, so most patients cannot stop taking sleeping pills not because of the dependence of sleeping pills, but because patients stop using anti-anxiety drugs on their own, so they can only rely on sleeping pills to relieve anxiety, so it leads to It is impossible to stop the medication, just as anti-hypertensive drugs do not have dependence, but need to be taken for life, and thirdly, patients do not develop good sleep habits during the treatment process, so they cannot sleep after stopping sleeping pills, not because of drug dependence. What if I do have dependence on sleeping pills for a long time? There is no need to be overly nervous and afraid, if you are no longer anxious and have adjusted your sleep routine, then it can be replaced by slow substitution therapy with small doses of atypical antipsychotics, etc. So early treatment with sleeping pills is possible, but it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor so as to reduce drug dependence, addiction and tolerance.
