Explore OptionsFrequently Asked Questions
What non-controlled sleep medications do you prescribe?
We prescribe trazodone, doxepin, melatonin agonists (ramelteon), and other non-controlled sleep aids. All medications are selected based on their pharmacological profiles and lack of controlled substance scheduling.
How do you avoid dependence with sleep medications?
We focus exclusively on non-controlled substances that have low dependence potential. Our approach emphasizes short-term use, intermittent dosing when possible, and regular reassessment of sleep hygiene and underlying causes.
Do you treat insomnia with medication?
Yes, we treat insomnia with medications like trazodone (serotonin antagonist), doxepin (tricyclic antidepressant), and ramelteon (melatonin receptor agonist). We understand their mechanisms for improving sleep onset and maintenance.
What about melatonin supplements?
We prescribe pharmaceutical-grade melatonin receptor agonists like ramelteon (Rozerem) which are more reliable than supplements. These medications work through the body's natural sleep-wake cycle regulation.
How do you monitor sleep medication effectiveness?
We track sleep onset time, sleep maintenance, daytime functioning, and side effects. We regularly reassess the need for continued medication and focus on improving natural sleep patterns when possible.
