insomnia
"I was first given Zolpidem (Stilnoct) by my sister so I could get some sleep on a very long flight. She told me "don't take it, then go to the loo... you'll collapse in the aisle and they won't be able to move you!". 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'd swing wildly between murderous rage and suicidal depression. Threw them in the bin before I killed myself or someone else! I've been using herbal tabs for years now, and they relax me enough to get to sleep, much better."
