Sleeping pills, this innocent and harmless name hides the emerging fact that addiction to sleeping pills devastates and silences thousands of lives every year. Sleeping pills are our nations silent killers in that prescriptions are often freely given yet deaths from overdose, both accidental and intentional are a significantly high percentage of all drug-related deaths.

All of these "barbs" or "downers" are dangerous on their own if not taken under medical supervision as prescribed. When taken with alcohol, these so-called sleeping pills can become quite deadly. There is little difference between the amount needed to sleep and the amount it takes to cause respiratory failure and death.

If you have found that the frequency and quantity of sleeping pills you take has increased even though it may affect you less, you most likely have developed an addiction. This tolerance is most prominent when, upon attempting to stop taking the sleeping pills, you suffer from physical withdrawal symptoms including anxiety, insomnia, convulsions or even death. If you feel like you need any drug to function, we can help.

Many people begin the painful road of addiction for very legitimate reasons, back pain, anxiety, sleeping disorders are all often treated with some sort of sleeping pill to relieve muscle tension, cause relaxation or induce sleep. Unfortunately many doctors do not recognize, or don't confront patients when they seem unable to quit fill prescriptions. Chronic use is a characteristic of addiction and all too often feelings of shame, guilt and covering up the problem follow.

Others have found that recreational use of sleeping pills, which produce similar effects of drinking- loss of inhibition, sedation, depression and general lack of control, has gotten out of hand and recognize that they have a problem they are unable to conquer themselves.

In either case, many addicted to sleeping pills are frightened to get help, thinking themselves weak or lacking self-control.
