    If were talking about acute insomnia, what are the “milder” medications which aren’t hypnotic (and thus probably benzo derivatives)?

      Trazadone for one. There are others. Please do some research if you’re going to share opinions on the topic.

        I’ve been having this issue since before you were a glittery in your father’s ballsack.

        That’s a single medication I’ve bet you’ve never even seen irl but desperately googled. You argued “**MOST sleeping pills aren’t benzos/derivatives”.

        If you understood medicine or chemistry you’d understands that a medication with a half-life of upwards of ten hours isn’t good for acute insomnia. They also prescribe quetiapine for slight insomnia. And the fact that sentence tells you nothing is what horrifies me as a part of this world.

        So, go ahead, list all the other plentiful ones. Becauses I’ve eaten all of them. Most probably before you could even walk.

          You sure are clinging emotionally to this. I take trazodone and it’s not the first sleep medication I have used.

          So nice try, but way off the mark.

            We’re not talking about your personal experience.

            The average half-life of trazodone is 10-12 hours. It’s not something that’s good for acute insomnia, as I’ve said, several times. Do you not understand the condition we’re talking about? Perhaps Google it or something?

            So, what are the “much milder and more commonly used ones”, when Ambien and other benzo-derivatives and benzos themselves are factually very commonly used medications for acute insomnia.

              They are not factually very commonly used for acute insomnia. You are starting from a place of fiction.

                Yes, they are. Ambien is common as fuck and so are other benzo family medications,

                Pharmacological Treatment of Insomnia

                #Treatment

                The recommended sequence of medication trials is:

                Short- or intermediate-acting benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BzRAs)

                You’re still avoiding naming the “much milder and more commonly used ones”, when Ambien and other benzo-derivatives and benzos themselves are factually very commonly used medications for acute insomnia.
