What Is A Benzodiazepine?

A benzodiazepine is the category that most sleeping pills and tranquilizers fall into. Rozerem is not a benzodiazepine! Benzodiazapines include Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and Librium. They tend to be relatively save without too many serious side effects. They can be extremely dangerous in high doses though! You can also build up a dependence on them. Watch out for that!

The very first nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic to enter the United States market is called Ambien (zolpidem). This was brought out in 1993. Rozerem (also known as Ramelteon) is also a hypnotic sedative.
