SLEEPING MEDICATION-ERRORS
BLOW HOT BLOW COLD
All experts in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, including doctors, should make warnings about sleeping pills to patients and the general public. That is not only justice and virtue but also humanity.
A 2012 survey by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States alone found that about 500,000 people die each year from sleeping pills. Suicides were not included in this survey. It only adds to the death toll of those addicted to it that I would not get any sleep if I did not take sleeping pills daily.
According to a study, regular use of sleeping pills can cause insomnia (INSOMNIA). Thus they increase the dose spontaneously without consulting a doctor. It causes more problems.
parasomnia is one of the bad sleeping sicknesses. It also comes down to those who abuse sleeping pills. Symptoms
1. Awakening from sleep with confusion and instability
2. Stunning to know where we are when we wake up. Feeling alienated from our own home. Surprise.
3. Doing things without realizing it. Such as driving. Cooking.
4. Finding abnormal wounds and marks on the body
5. Inability to sleep at night, sleeping during the day, such as a dilemma
Somnambulance is a sleep disorder that often affects people who take sleeping pills.
The sleep that comes with a sleeping pill is a night of bad sleep. You will feel this bad sleep as soon as you wake up. The battered model would be such an asshole. A headache will come. Constipation follows. That is what will make you feel like a patient in the course of the day you will not be active. It can also cause blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, tremors, and weakness. These are all anticholinergic effects. Click here to see more clearly about this.
Sleeping pill habits can become addictive over the course of the day and make you addicted. If you are addicted like that, then your normal sleep pattern will be disturbed as if you do not have a pill, you will not get even a normal night sleep.
The pictures below illustrate how sleeping pills can affect your nerves.

| Fig-1 |
As shown in Figure 1 above, the movement of a nerve is normal. The first to be shown in Level-1 from top to bottom is the Neural System of a Nerve. It contains sodium ions outside the nerve cell and potassium ions inside. Both sides contain chloride ions. Sodium ions (Na +) are generally more positively charged (POSITIVE or + -ve) ions than potassium (K +) ions. Chloride (Cl-) ions, meanwhile, are strong NEGATIVE or -ve ions. Therefore at this polarized state, the positive energy outside the nerve cell is high (+)
Inside the cell, it is either loose (+)positively charged or strong negatively charged (-) ions.
The following hormones in the central nervous system are stimulant neurotransmitters. They are,
1) Noradrenaline,
2) dopamine,
3) acetylcholine,
4) glutamate and
5)Aspartate.
When one of these hormones binds its receptor, the charged ions begin to flow through their respective gates in and out of the nerve cell. The strongly charged sodium ions flow in, with an equal effusion of potassium ions out of the nerve cells that cause a stronger ( ➕ ) positive charge inside the cell. This condition is called cell depolarization (Figure 1-Level-2).
In this condition the nerve cell got excited. (Figure-1, stage-3)

Figure-2 above is the next stage of Figure-1. That is, we saw in the illustration of Figure-1 above that under normal conditions the positive energy outside the nerve cell and the negative energy inside are in equilibrium and that this state is reversed by the stimulation of nerve stimulating hormones.
In Figure-2 we can see the attacks of nerve suppressor or suppressing hormones secreted in the same central nervous system.
The inhibitory or suppressing neurotransmitter hormones secreted in the central nervous system are as follows: -
1. GABA - GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID
2.Glycine (GLYCINE)
3.SEROTONIN or 5-HYDROXY TRYPTOPHANE
The most important of these is GABA. During normal sleep, GABA binds to its receptor in a normal state, followed by a few chloride ions enter the nerve cells and bring the nerve to a normal polarized electrical state. (Figure-2-Level-2) This is the natural sleep state.
After taking a sleeping pill, for example, alprazolam that binds to its own receptor adjacent to the GABA receptor (Fig-2- Level-3) causes GABA to bind its receptor firmly and very intimately (Fig-2-level-3) that follows a heavy inflow of chloride ions inside the cell and causes the nerve fibre hyperpolarized, that means it attained a state of hardness to depolarize to return to its original state. (Figure-2-Level-3). That is why the sleep that comes with a sleeping pill is not a real sleep but a sense of mild to moderate unconsciousness. Death can follow if it has been given an overdose
Eating this often will cause your nervous system to degenerate a little bit.
Causes neurasthenia. Over the course of the day, you will find yourself feeling like a patient.
People who should not take sleeping pills: -
1.Drinkers who usually drink alcoholic beverages such as brandy and whiskey
2. Addicted to drugs such as cannabis, opium, cocaine, heroin
3.Antipsychotics such as Perphenazine, Haloperidol (Haldol), Troperidol, Closaparil (Clozaril), Risperidone (Risperdal) and the drug Chlorpromazine (Largactil) should be avoided with anxiolytics
4. People who take antidepressants such as amitriptyline
How to quit sleeping pill habit?
Those who take 10 mg daily should take it as 5 mg, those who take 5 mg daily should take it as 2 mg, and those taking it daily should take 2 mg. Eat it once a week or once a month, then cut it down to once a day or twice a day and then drop the habit immediately.

BARBITURATES
Barbiturates like Luminal (Phenobarbital), Nembutal (Pentobarbital), Amytal (Amobarbital) and Pentothal (Thiopental) are nowadays rarely used as sleeping aids because of their serious side effects. Phenobarbital is used to control seizures as an anticonvulsant.
Thiopental is used as an anaesthetic adjuvant. For more details click here.
