As a nation, it seems we pop more pills than all the other developed countries. The people who count things release the number of prescriptions written each year, and painkillers and sleeping pills are always racing ahead of the field for that Number 1 spot. Its strange we should find sleep a problem thats not just falling asleep, its also staying asleep long enough to feel the benefit the next morning. Why should something that comes so naturally as young children become so difficult for some as they grow older? The answers are long and complicated, varying with changes in lifestyles and habits to the places where we live becoming more noisy. One thing is clear. Sleeping pills are now an integral part of our culture. You will see references to them wherever you look, whether as ads on TV or the media, or as throw-away lines. For example, when Lacey was kicked out of American Idol, her performance of Ruby Tuesday was promoted as a safer alternative to sleeping pills. And thats before we get to the high-powered celebrities like Tiger Woods. Heres a man who has proved to be a walking-encyclopedia on addiction.

Whenever you are considering the possibility of trying a new drug, theres always a moment of worry. Its usual to think the more powerful the drug, the greater the risk of adverse side effects. In reality, this fear is unreal. No drug is allowed on to the market by the FDA unless it has a proven safety record. It has to go through multiple clinical trials. The results must not only show the drug is effective, but the actual incidence of reported side effects has to be disclosed. Even more importantly, the grant of a license by the FDA does not end the testing of the drug. In fact, all you people out there in the real world become test subjects by taking the drug. There is a Post-Marketing Reporting Program with all doctors, clinics and hospitals required to report any unusual side effects to the FDA as they occur. If the reports give cause for concern, the FDA instructs the manufacturer to change the labeling to warn users of potential problems. If the side effects are serious, the drug is withdrawn. No matter what the cost to the manufacturer, the safety of patients is more important. So long as a drug remains on the market, you can be assured the majority of people can use it...more
