HomeQ & AQuestionsWhy are doctors so reluctant... Question posted by timeout17 on 24 March 2015 Last updated on 19 January 2022 I am 72 years old, have suffered from insomnia for years. My doctor has prescribed several sleep aids, but some don't work at all, and some have very adverse affects. Some sleep aids I've tried have an opposite, hyped up result. Could it be the insurance companies and not the doctors who disapprove. I have, in the past, been given clonazepam, and it worked very well... no bad side effects, no drowsiness the next day, no sluggish feelings. I get about 15-20 hours of sleep a week, and I can't function well on that little amount. The benzodiazepine crisis has become as bad... or worse... than the opioid crisis. Benzos are addictive, have a high potential for abuse, and can cause depression, increased anxiety, sleep disturbances, memory loss, and many other psychiatric and physical side effects.Some people could benefit from their use, but the actions of a few endanger many people including the prescribing doctors and pharmaceutical houses. Tammy Moulton 20 Dec 2018 It is very sad that Drs are told or are to afraid of getting in trouble from the Dea and insurance companies. T prescribe clonazepam for Ppl who really need it. PCP send you off to a psychiatrist who also will not prescribe clonazepam. But they have no problem giving out prescription for other medications that have terrible side effects. And yes you have withdrawal symptoms
