How Should I Take Benzodiazepine Sleeping Tablets?
When taking benzodiazepine sleeping pills, it is best that you only use the medication for the correct reasons. This means that you should take the medicine when you are affected by sleep difficulties and not for reasons other than this (such as taking sleep medication for recreational purposes).
To take a tablet, swallow the pill with a drink of water. Beverages, other than water, should not be used when taking sleep medicine because they can interfere with the treatment. Also, it is not advisable that you suck on, chew or crush these pills as they can have a bitter taste.
You may take these tablets with or without food, but if you are using the medication after eating; be sure to eat a low-fat meal. Taking the tablets soon after a heavy meal can cause the medication to be delayed in taking effect.
Those individuals that are using benzodiazepine sleeping tablets on a regular basis (as part of a treatment plan) should strictly follow their dosing schedules. However, in the event that they forget to take a dose of their medication, they should take it as soon as they remember. This is only if the missed dose is not too soon before the next scheduled dosage. In this case, it is advised that you skip the missed dosage and resume with your schedule as normal. You should never take two doses at once to make up for a missed dosage.
