Dalmane® consists of a chemical known as Eszopiclone which is in a class of drugs described as sedatives or hypnotics, due to this Dalmane® is not suitable for daytime use. This drug is said to induce sleep and cause relaxation. We would like to note that the manufacturer encourages users to avoid alcohol and any other sedatives since they can exemplify the effects of this drug.

We do want to point out that it is not necessary to only use a prescription drug to treat depression or insomnia. Many consumers turn to natural supplements to perform these functions since they are not associated with the harsh side effects the prescription drugs can cause. Furthermore, natural supplements are easier and more affordable to obtain since they do not require multiple visits to the doctor.

As mentioned, Dalmane ® is said to cause sleepiness. While the drug is advertised to soothe a restlessness mind it is not likely to reduce anxiety as implied. For those consumers who desire a product to help relieve stress they may want to keep looking. However, for some potential users this drug has been shown to cause adverse side effects which include: continued drowsiness during the daytime, clumsiness, memory loss problems, worsening of depression, aggressive behavior, hallucinations and agitation. Though, the most common side effects associated with Dalmane ® are constant headaches and dry mouth.

Furthermore, there have been cases when Dalmane ® has been shown to be habit forming for some. For obvious reasons this is concerning since few people want to take a potentially addictive drug. Some doctors have attempted to circumvent this problem by only offering short-term prescriptions. Though, this is no guarantee that addiction can be avoided.

While the manufacturer of this drug does posts a website it is limited in information. It only displays this product in a list and does not give any product description. There is no mention of the potentially adverse side effects, and not even a note that Dalmane® may be habit forming. In addition, the company does not take the time to post consumer testimonials to show past success stories as some manufacturers of natural supplements have the tendency to do.

• Company posts basic website
• Comes in generic forms

• No posted testimonials
• May be addictive
• For some it may cause potentially harmful side effects
• Expensive

Dalmane® is likely to interest those who want to treat their “restless mind.” However, it is more likely this drug will cause sleepiness than actually reduce anxiety or lessen depression. Those consumers who would rather focus on balancing moods may want to research other options. We suggest looking into natural supplements that are not likely to be addictive or to cause adverse side effects.

Unfortunately, its likely Dalmane® will end up being expensive after the doctor visits and pharmaceutical costs that will be required to obtain this drug. Those consumers who want to try this drug may be interested in the generic version, though that drug may also be expensive. Again, natural supplements may be a better choice since they are most likely the most affordable.
