They are still scripted (seldomly-short term) Seconal, Tuinal, when other short measures have failed, and someone NEEDS sleep for the sake of their mental health, these not being first line sleep aids-Nembutal was discontinued in 04.
. "They left a drail of corpses durung the 70s. Reds,Ludes all those readily available sleep aides have been restricted or eliminated."'Reds'-Seconal is still available, but usually for short term, acute insomnia which impacts the patients life severly, unlike the 50's-70's where they were given more readily. 'Ludes' Quaalude, was aborted in 1984 due to widespred recreational use out doing medical use.
"New gerneation of sleep aids, while adddictive, dont cause overdose and oversedation. People read thes boards looking for help".I took Zopliclone 1-2, 7.5mg tabs, for~3months, it ceased to be effective fairly quickly and caused depression the following day. I'm amazed at reports that people take it for a year or more and continue to have it work.
