At Sharlynn Cares Psychiatry, we understand the profound impact insomnia can have on your life. When non-pharmacological approaches and lifestyle changes aren’t enough, medication can be a valuable ally in helping you regain control over your sleep patterns. Here are some of the typical medications we consider for treating insomnia:

1. Hypnotic Medications:

• Zolpidem (Ambien): Zolpidem is a short-acting medication designed to help you fall asleep more quickly.

• Eszopiclone (Lunesta): Eszopiclone is another short-acting option that assists with both falling asleep and staying asleep.

• Zaleplon (Sonata): Zaleplon is ultra-short-acting, making it ideal for those who struggle primarily with initiating sleep.

2. Melatonin Receptor Agonists:

• Ramelteon (Rozerem): Ramelteon works with your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and can be beneficial if you have trouble falling asleep.

• Tasimelteon (Hetlioz): Tasimelteon is uniquely suited for circadian rhythm sleep disorders and non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder.

3. Sedating Antidepressants:

• Trazodone: Trazodone, an antidepressant, can be prescribed off-label for its sedative effects, helping improve sleep.

• Amitriptyline: Another sedating antidepressant, amitriptyline, may be recommended in certain cases.

4. Benzodiazepines (with caution):

• Diazepam (Valium) and Temazepam (Restoril): These sedative medications are used cautiously due to the risk of dependence and tolerance. Short-term use may be considered in specific situations.

At Sharlynn Cares Psychiatry, we prioritize your overall well-being and a comprehensive approach to managing insomnia. Medication, when appropriate, is just one piece of the puzzle. We also focus on lifestyle adjustments, behavioral strategies, and addressing any underlying factors contributing to your sleep difficulties.

Before starting any insomnia medication, we encourage you to consult with our healthcare professionals, who will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that best suits your unique needs. Quality sleep is within reach, and we are here to guide you on the path to peaceful nights.
