Like all other medications for sleep the prescription medication also works in helping one to sleep by depressing the central nervous system of a person. Sleep aids are one of the treatments meted out to people suffering from various sleep disorders. Before taking any sleep aid it is good to find out what is the cause of your insomnia and to try and cure the problem by first dealing with the underlying situation. Sleep aids help to some extent but if continued for a prolonged period of time then the body develops a tolerance and they don't seem to be working that well then. Older sleep remedies where seen in the use of barbiturates, glutethimide, chloral hydrate etc that are not in use now. These are no longer in use due to the high amount of side effects or risks that they carried like psychological dependency, lethal overdoses and developing tolerance. The next generation of sleep aids was the benzodiazipines.
These were both long acting and short term, but they too have a tendency to make the person dependent and also to develop tolerance. Introduced in the 1990s the nondiazipines are the current sleep aids that do not come with the side effects and the problems of the older drugs. The fact that the body can metabolize these drugs faster and hence reduce the risk of developing tolerance fast or also of having serious side effects like vomiting nausea etc are reduced. These are the most prescribed forms of sleep aids now. In people who have sleep disorders due to depression or anxiety anti depressants are used. Sleep medications work by depressing the central nervous system and in effect the brain so it is good to first make sure if your insomnia can be cured or treated by first treating its cause and to use sleep aids only as a temporary relief method.
People with known kidney or heart conditions should not take sleep medication. Women who are pregnant or lactating should also not take these medications. Unless advised by the doctor it is not good to take these medicines for prolonged periods of time. All sleep aids can lead to a development of some resistance or tolerance so it is good to use them for short periods of time. Ask your doctor if taking sleep medicines will effect your current treatment. It is also good to keep in mind that sleep medications should not be mixed with alcohol as this may lead to a fatal condition. Sleep medicines and alcohol both target the central nervous system and depress it to aid the person to sleep so it is good to keep them both apart and not mix them. If you are under treatment for some other health condition it is good to talk to your doctor and understand your medicine and the side effects before taking it and making sure that it does not interfere with your current treatment.
