A member asked:
Are there alternative drugs to benzodiapemes that work? if so what are they? also, are there any herbs that work if there are no drug alternatives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzodiazepine subst: Yes, there are alternative drugs to benzodiazepines, depending on what you are treating. If sleep, Rozerem (ramelteon) is non-addicting. Sleep hygiene with early exercise also works. If depression, antidepressants. If anxiety, some SSRI's, also help. Please see your doctor or let us know what you are treating, so we can be more specific in our recommendations.
