FAQs

What are sleeping pills used for?

Sleeping pills are prescribed to help people who struggle with insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep. They are usually recommended for short-term use to improve sleep quality.

 

Some common side effects include:

  • Morning drowsiness or grogginess

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Headaches

  • Dry mouth

  • Nausea

  • Risk of dependence with long-term use

Anxiety products (medications or natural remedies) are designed to reduce excessive worry, fear, and nervousness. They are commonly used for conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, or panic attacks.

Doctors often prescribe:

  • Benzodiazepines (e.g., Diazepam, Lorazepam, Alprazolam) – for quick, short-term relief

  • SSRIs (e.g., Sertraline, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine) – for long-term management

  • SNRIs (e.g., Venlafaxine, Duloxetine)

  • Buspirone – for generalized anxiety disorder

Pain relief medications (analgesics) are used to ease discomfort from headaches, arthritis, muscle pain, post-surgery recovery, or chronic pain conditions.

What are the potential risks of taking sleeping pills, anxiety products, and pain relief medications?
  • Sleeping pills: Can cause dependency, memory issues, and next-day grogginess

  • Anxiety medications: May cause dizziness, withdrawal symptoms, or dependency (especially benzodiazepines)

  • Pain relief medications: Overuse can harm the stomach, liver, or kidneys; opioids carry addiction risks

Always buy sleeping tablets from licensed online pharmacies or with a doctor’s prescription. Many unverified websites sell counterfeit or unsafe products, so it’s best to use only trusted, regulated sources.

Anxiety pills work by balancing chemicals in the brain (such as serotonin and GABA) that influence mood and stress response. This helps reduce symptoms like constant worry, restlessness, or panic attacks.

Some anxiety medications, especially benzodiazepines, can lead to dependence if used for a long time. Doctors usually prescribe them for short-term use. SSRIs, SNRIs, and Buspirone are generally considered non-addictive.

The onset of action depends on the type of medication:

  • Benzodiazepines (e.g., Diazepam, Bensedine, Alprazolam 1mg [Ksalol Galenika]) – These usually start working within 30 minutes to 2 hours, providing quick relief from acute anxiety or panic attacks.
  • SSRIs and SNRIs (e.g., Sertraline, Escitalopram, Duloxetine) – These can take 2–6 weeks to build up in the system and deliver noticeable results.
  • Buspirone – Typically requires 2–4 weeks of consistent use before benefits are felt.
