Is being addicted to sleep medications a terrible thing?

Question

I feel as though I've become addicted to sleep medications.....I love how they make me feel when I take them (only at night) I feel comfy, drowsy, relaxed, carefree. It helps so much with my anxiety, but I can't help but feel as though relying on it for those purposes would make me an addict? Anyone else with this problem? Do you take sleep meds? How do you feel about them? THANKS!

Answer

im addicted to melatonin. whenever i have a anxiety attack i take one and my anxiety goes away. it's a natural sleeping pill that helps you calm down and sleep .. You should consider that instead of actually sleeping pills. they can get you sick.

Answer

yes. you'll have to take more and more to get your desired effect and when you stop taking it you will have withdrawal symptoms including insomnia and anxiety. my sleep med which is restoril has the same active ingredient as Xanax so I'm really careful with it.
