Chemical vs. Natural – which is more effective when it comes to my Insomnia?

I get this question a lot. Friends and colleges who take Ambien on a daily basis versus those who are afraid to get on any kind of possible addicting medication,  then there those who have enjoyed a natural option to getting a restful nights sleep – the organic way.

So let’s look into which is best for you, Ambien or AloeRest

What is Ambien?

Ambien is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia). Ambien is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep). This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep. Ambien may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for by a doctor for the amount of time directed, which is normally 4-5 weeks at a time. Ambien can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. You may still feel sleepy the morning after taking the medication. When you decide to stop taking Ambien you may feel withdrawal symptoms which include behavior changes, stomach pain, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, panic, tremors, and seizure (convulsions). Insomnia symptoms may also return after you stop taking this medication.

Think that’s all? Nope.

Serious side effects:

·         depressed mood, thoughts of hurting yourself;

·         unusual thoughts, risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger;

·         anxiety, aggression, feeling restless or agitated;

·         hallucinations, confusion, loss of personality.

Less serious Ambien side effects may include:

·         daytime drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, feeling "drugged" or light-headed;

·         lack of coordination;

·         amnesia, forgetfulness;

·         vivid or abnormal dreams;

·         nausea, constipation;

·         stuffy nose, sore throat;

·         headache, muscle pain; or

·         blurred vision.

So what is in Ambien?

Ambien CR contains zolpidem tartrate, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class. Ambien CR (zolpidem tartrate extended-release tablets) is available in 6.25 mg and 12.5 mg strength tablets for oral administration. Chemically, zolpidem is N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-acetamide L-(+)-tartrate (2:1)

Translation:  ALL CHEMICALS… YUCK!
