In recent years, many studies suggest that the use of drugs like Alprazolam has been increasingly out of place and often misused. In European countries and America, the users that are mostly men who also drink alcohol are users of drugs known as benzodiazepines.

This is because people with a history of alcohol addiction (an alcoholic) are more likely to experience dependence and tolerance of this drug. That's why virtually every textbook that discusses the benzodiazepine class of a drugs to alleviate anxiety, always warns about the dangers of addiction in patients with a history of alcohol addiction. The ultimate example is the death of Whitney Houston.

To prevent this, it is suggested that if it is necessary to use a sedative, then it should be selected carefully, long term or short term. This is because long term sedation runs in the blood longer compared to the short term one. a Alprazolama, for example, will tend to make someone addicted compared to Diazepam (about ten times more).

Furthermore, the use of these drugs should be under the supervision or control of a doctor. Patients are not allowed to buy their own drugs, let alone take them without knowing the proper dosages. Although the sale of the benzodiazepine drugs has been tightened since 2009, in fact there are still many pharmacies that are willing to sell this type of drug purchase without a prescription.

The use of the smallest optimal dose and in a short time frame is also one way to avoid addiction of sedatives. Patients will usually be monitored in this type of drug use and doctor's advice must be considered properly. If you feel it is too long (more than 4 weeks), you can ask your doctor when you can stop taking the drugs.

Before ending this article I just want to emphasize again that in my personal opinion, reinforced by some papers in scientific journals and text books that I read, the use of sedatives in the benzodiazepine class is temporary and has a role as symptomatic drugs (reducing symptoms) in patients with anxiety and depression. Appropriate treatment for cases of depression and anxiety are not dependent on this type of drug.

Sleep is important to maintain the stability of one's health. Unfortunately, for some people this may be not easy. Some are difficult to fall asleep, experience frequent night waking, or can only sleep a little. This sleep disorder is commonly known as insomnia.

Almost everyone has troubles sleeping because of stress, feel pain because of a particular condition, or because they drink too much. If you've been having insomnia for years, this may lead to more serious conditions.

To deal with this problem, you can try the following ways to cure insomnia:

Create a sleep pattern

Try to start falling asleep and waking up at the same time each and every day, including on saturdays and sundays. If you're used to sleeping at a certain hour, you will be able to maintain the same habit the next days. Also, don't sleep too much as it's not healthy.

Don't try to sleep

The harder you try to sleep, the more awake you are. So don't try so hard to sleep, just read your favorite magazines or fiction books to help you sleep. Some carb snacks will also help.

Say no to smoking and alcohol

You will have less quality of sleep if you smoke and drink alcohol before bedtime. This also applies to soda.

Choose healthy foods

You can try opt for milk, cheese, meat, or fish. These foods contain tryptophan, which is a type of fatty acid that is able to help the body produce serotonin hormone and relax the nerves.
