Hi doctor,
I am unable to sleep, and I wake up frequently. I suffer from nightmares, and with daytime fatigue. I need a medication that is non-addictive. Is Promethazine an effective medication for sedation in the treatment of adults with insomnia?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for this query.
- I can understand your concern regarding insomnia. Promethazine is a sedative, but it will not help in insomnia. It will affect the quality of sleep.
- I will suggest you first go for a polysomnography to find out actual reason of insomnia, then start treatment according to that. Zolpidem is the best medicine to treat insomnia because of its non-addictive property. Other medicines can cause dependence.
Hope my answer helped you. Regards.
