Insomnia
"I was first given Zolpidem (Stilnoct) by my sister so I could get some sleep on a very long flight. She told me &quot;don&#039;t take it, then go to the loo... you&#039;ll collapse in the aisle and they won&#039;t be able to move you!&quot;. Took one, got as comfy as possible with eyemask, earplugs, blanket etc. Gave up trying to get to sleep after 1.5 hours. Useless.

I was then prescribed them for insomnia several years ago. Fine if I took one occasionally when I was desperate, but if I took them 2 or 3 nights running, I&#039;d swing wildly between murderous rage and suicidal depression. Threw them in the bin before I killed myself or someone else! I&#039;ve been using herbal tabs for years now, and they relax me enough to get to sleep, much better."
