Common medications for treating insomnia and poor sleep:
1. Sedative-hypnotic medications: Such as triazolam and estazolam, these medications can quickly help patients fall asleep, but long-term use is not recommended to avoid drug dependence.
2. Anti-anxiety medications: For insomnia caused by anxiety, anti-anxiety medications such as Tianshu Capsules can alleviate anxiety, stabilize mood, and improve sleep.
3. Neurotropic medications: For insomnia caused by neurasthenia, medications such as vitamin B1, vitamin B12, and oryzanol can nourish the nerves, regulate autonomic nerve function, and promote sleepiness.
4. Antidepressant medications: Such as fluoxetine hydrochloride and paroxetine hydrochloride. These medications are primarily used for insomnia patients with anxiety and depressive symptoms. They can not only improve sleep but also relieve anxiety and depression.
5. Sleep-aid medications: Such as diazepam and clonazepam, which are suitable for insomnia caused by depression or psychological factors. These medications can accelerate the onset of sleepiness and improve insomnia symptoms.
All medications should be used according to medical advice; self-medication and long-term drug dependence should be avoided.
