Home-work-home - this carousel of worries is so addictive that some people forget to give rest to their tense nervous system. Such a lifestyle can lead to health problems, and therefore you can and should help yourself by choosing the right sedatives.
They usually mean medicines that have a relaxing, sedative effect on the nervous system, but do not interfere with its work. However, the mechanism of their action is not fully understood. Some drugs have an inhibitory effect or reduce excitability, while others are based on the principles of balancing excitability and tomosing processes. There is only one effect - a person calms down a little, his reactions slow down, sometimes drowsiness appears.
Sedatives should not be confused with tranquilizers and drugs, their sedative effect is much less pronounced and not so much depresses the nervous system.
Today, a wide range of preparations of both synthetic and herbal origin is presented on the market. The most popular of herbal remedies are tinctures of motherwort, peony and, of course, the familiar valerian, the infusion of Valerian officinalis. In addition, mint has some sedative effect. You should know that almost all sedative herbs begin to act in full force, only after accumulating in the body, that is, treatment should be carried out in courses. A single dose of such drugs alone will not have a significant effect, except as a placebo.
There are drugs that have an almost instant sedative effect, but they, as a rule, already belong to the class of tranquilizers, and in addition to a soothing and even inhibitory effect on the nervous system, they also have a muscle relaxant effect, that is, they relax muscles.
Sedative preparations of synthetic origin, as a rule, incorporate bromides or barbiturates. Reception of bromides is often accompanied by side effects, especially with a long course. Barbiturates are often part of sleeping pills, but in small doses they have a significant sedative effect.
Some antihistamines, such as Suprastin, also have a side effect of sedation, but anti-allergy drugs of the latest generation no longer have this effect. In addition, alcohol has a rather significant sedative effect.
The appointment of sedatives should be done by a doctor, and reception should also be under his control for timely dosage adjustment if necessary. You do not need to worry about addiction - the drugs of this group do not cause it.
It should be remembered that people whose work requires concentration and constant attention, as well as motorists, need to select preparations of this kind especially carefully, since all sedative drugs slow down the speed and quality of the reaction somewhat, especially if the dosage is not selected correctly.
