1.5 million people annually are harmed from drug errors. Don't Risk Your Health! Ask a Health Expert Now

Several of these meds increase serotonin levels to be toxic in the brain and cause sever insomnia. My friend has gone several nights without sleeping or only getting very little sleep. What should he do? He is in a new state so he has no insurance at the moment and has no doctor. Seriously read up on some of the meds and you wouldn't believe these were given to a 17 year old guy.

• Resolved Question: Replacement for Starnoc? (Sun, 17 Dec 2006 04:42:35 GMT)
  I had been taking Starnoc(Zaleplon) for 3 years with much success. Since the manufacturer stopped making it I have been taking 5mg Imovane, I am not doing well on it, I am not sleeping well and I wake up feeling like crap in the morning, not just sleep deprived but groggy so I am reluctant to just ask for a higher dose of Imovane. Does anyone have any success with a replacement for Starnoc. One of the things I loved about it was that it did not make me feel bad in the morning
