Generally speaking, the attitude towards sleeping pills has two very different views, one kind of people are afraid of, completely resist; another kind of people are randomly eat. In fact, for some insomnia patients, the use of some necessary sleeping pills is necessary, correct, reasonable, standardized use of sleeping pills are generally not addictive, but pay attention to a few problems. (1) In order to prevent addiction, the use of sufficient amount of the most critical. Some studies have concluded that whether sleeping pills are addictive has little to do with the amount of a single dose, and the most critical thing is the time of taking the medicine. The likelihood of becoming addicted to sleeping pills taken over a two-month period is far greater than taking several pills at a time for a short period of time. Some people believe that the main function of using sleeping pills is to rapidly improve the patient’s sleep quality, and when the acute insomnia stage is over and the insomnia condition is improved for a period of time, it can be changed to intermittent medication as needed. If the dose of the drug is insufficient at the beginning, and the insomnia problem cannot be solved quickly, so that the condition recurs, the duration of the drug may be prolonged, increasing the risk of addiction. Therefore, to avoid addiction, patients should take the medication as prescribed by the doctor. (2) Sleeping pill addiction is often related to the quality of the person taking it. The same is to take 8 weeks of sleeping pills, some people will not be addicted, and some people may be addicted; the same is the Internet, some people will form Internet addiction, and some people will not; this is related to the quality of a greater extent, because some people themselves are prone to addictive qualities, which is determined by the susceptibility of the genes. (3) Don’t take sleeping pills at will. Some people occasionally insomnia, on the nervousness to find sleeping pills to eat, always think that occasionally eat once or twice the drug is fine, although this will not cause damage to the body, but for a long time, there is still the possibility of creating a drug dependence. In fact, many times it is not necessary to take long-term. Insomnia can be caused by a variety of reasons, often a symptom of an underlying problem (such as depression, anxiety, or other diseases), to find the cause with the help of a doctor. Find the cause with the help of your doctor and treat the cause. The original disease treatment is good insomnia is also relieved. (4) choose the right sleeping pills to have good results. As for the types of sleeping pills have been stated earlier. Benzodiazepines, in addition to the sedative effect of sleep, it also has an anxiolytic effect, so this type of drug is currently the most widely used sleeping drugs, but there is also a certain degree of addiction. These drugs include Valium, Valium, Valium, Lorazepam, etc. The newest generation of sleeping pills, Snortex, is the most widely used sleeping pill. The latest generation of sleeping pills, such as Snus, Zopiclone, etc., are less addictive and have greater individual differences in efficacy. (5) Taking sleeping pills should also pay attention to the time of action of the drug. Insomnia is categorized into difficulty in falling asleep, shallow sleep and easy to wake up, dreamy and early waking up. In order to solve the difficulty in falling asleep, can choose fast-acting, short-acting time of the drug, such as Si Nuosi, etc.; such as shallow sleep, easy to wake up can choose medium-acting, such as Jia Jing Valium, Shu Lei Pacifier; early waking, short sleep patients can choose long-acting Clonidine and so on. This can reduce the side effects and increase the therapeutic effect. For some difficult to treat insomnia, in order to reduce the possibility of addiction, two or more kinds of sedative drugs can be used together.
