What kind of sleeping pill is the most effective and best for me? The newest sleeping pill is Ambien, though the fact that it is the newest does not make it the best. The side effects of the Ambien sleeping pill, the generic name being Lorazepam, are quite harsh. First of all, you should know that the Ambien sleeping pill cannot be taken by any person with liver or kidney disease, lung disease such as asthma, sleep apnea or depression. Among those who are eligible to take Ambien the sleep inducing effects vary from person to person as well as negative side effects. The sleeping pill causes hallucinations, personality changes, lack of coordination, blurred vision and others. To get the sleep you need without the side effects you don't a herbal sleeping pill can be easily and cheaply acquired in health food stores, online and in some pharmacies. While a herbal sleeping pill won't have the over powering effect that a prescription sleeping pill will, it is much safer and has few if any side effects. A herbal sleeping pill also does not lend itself to dependence or addiction.

Even though over the counter sleeping pills are common and easily obtainable, it does not mean that there is no risk in taking them. Sleep aids sold without a prescription still have the risk of addiction and dependency, and over the counter sleeping pills can also lead to overdose if not use properly. Unfortunately, over the counter sleeping pills have become people's first option when having trouble sleeping because of their convenience. It is possible to get to sleep without the use of over the counter sleeping pills, via natural methods. Relaxation techniques are very effective, and sometimes it is as simple as a change in your diet/lifestyle. Other than those, you can try a herbal supplement in the place of over the counter sleeping pills; herbal supplements rarely have any negative side effects and do not lend themselves to addiction or dependency. Over the counter sleeping pills should not be your first choice, you can get the sleep you need without the side effects you don't.

A natural sleep medicine such as Valerian Root or St John's Wort are much, much safer than prescription drugs like Ambien or Lunesta. When you are using a natural sleep medicine it will not feel like you have been knocked out, but rather it is a more natural sleep which leaves you feeling rested and refreshed in the morning. In contrast, users of pharmaceutical drugs for sleep often complain of a hung over feeling the following morning and have difficulty concentrating during the day and experience daytime drowsiness; the exact thing that the medication is supposed to correct. Natural sleep medicine is more often than not more affordable than any of the prescription drugs, and you do not need to get script from a doctor to get them. Almost any natural sleep medicine that you can think of can be purchased locally at a pharmacy or health food store, and if not it can be ordered online. If you are having problems getting to sleep, think of a natural sleep medicine first.
