Side Effects Of Sleeping Pills

Question: Are there any serious side effects from taking sleeping pills excessively?I want to know about long term effects besides dependency. I want a serious answer, not the ones so many people like to give to make you feel incredibly dumb.My problem is, I have trouble sleeping so I take sleeping pills on a very regular basis, OTC ones not prescription. And my tolerance to them is so high, I have to take between 8-12 of them. I want to know if there are any serious long term side effect, for example kidney failure, heart problems, and so on. I would ask a doctor but I'm a sever hypochondriac, and I hate going to doctors.



Answer: Unfortunately - the only people who can REALLY give you a correct advise on this is a DOCTOR. Yahoo Answers is NOT a good place to get an answer for something that coudl mean yoru life and death. People may even give yo links to site, but you shouldn't rely on them ot be accurate.If you admit that you are a hypochondriac, then may be that is part of the problem why you are dependent on the pills. You may have to do something with your lifestyle so that you health is good enough NOT to depend on sleeping pills.It comes down to your choice. How badly do you want to stop the sleeping pills and how much is your life is worth to you?
