Clonazepam is one of the most popular drugs for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia, and is also one of the most commonly abused. Whether you are considering using it for stress, sleep or both, it is best to avoid it. However if you are currently using Clonazepam it can be very dangerous to suddenly discontinue use; speak to your doctor about how to safely taper off of Clonazepam. You may very well find that there are many natural alternatives to Clonazepam which are more effective than you think; they are also much safer. It is not hard to believe than nearly any other treatment would be safer than Clonazepam after reading about or experiencing some of the side effects which include things like personality change, blurred vision, hallucinations and changes in skin color and texture. You would be hard pressed to find any natural treatment with any negative side effects, but especially with a list of side effects as long and troubling as those which accompany Clonazepam use. Your natural options will not require a prescription, nor will they have risks of dependency or overdose as Clonazepam has.

If you are thinking of using Ativan think again! Even by the standards of other prescription drugs it is dangerous, and people using Ativan require constant monitoring of kidney and liver function to ensure that it is not causing permanent damage to the body. Ativan is prescribed all too often, both for anxiety and sleep problems, but the prescription of a pharmaceutical drug like Ativan makes the assumption that your anxiety and sleeping problems are being caused by a chemical imbalance when there are many other factors which could be affecting you. Before resorting to the use of Ativan or another benzodiazepine you should try a combination of lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, cognitive therapy and/or herbal remedies. All of these are obviously side effect and dependency free methods of dealing with anxiety and insomnia, whereas Ativan can lead to addiction, dependency and permanent damage to the body.

The Lunesta sleeping pill is a nonbenzodiazepine, much like Ambien and Sonata. And much like Ambien and Sonata, Lunesta has a long list of negative effects. The Lunesta sleeping pill comes in You should first know that the Lunesta sleeping pill should not be taken by any person with a liver, kidney or lung disease as it can exacerbate these conditions. It also should not be given to anyone with a history of drug abuse because of its potential for addiction, and any person who has suffered from depression should not use the Lunesta sleeping pill because it has been known to promote suicidal thoughts and feelings. Besides all of this, the Lunesta sleeping pill simply has negative side effects like day time drowsiness, lack of concentration, memory problems, headache, dry mouth, nightmares and others. Trust in herbal supplements for sleep unless you have been shown to have a clear physical or psychological problem, otherwise the Lunesta sleeping pill is unnecessary.
