Suggest Medications For Insomnia In Elderly
I have insomnia. Trazadone causes me bad dreams. Is there a medication I can take that will not have negative side effects. Ambien (zolpidem) I was told can cause memory problems in the elderly. I am 76 years old and don t need memory problems. Can you suggest anything? Melatonin hasn t helped. Thank you.
