Chemical-based sedatives can make elderly nervous

Mar 27, 2006 - 12:29:00 PM , Reviewed by: Priya Saxena
Diazepam, the main ingredient in valium, can lead to anxiousness and sleeplessness among children and older people.

 
[RxPG] Chemically derived sedatives can often lead to nervousness among children and older people instead of calming them.

Substances like diphenhydramine, which can be purchased without a prescription, often create this paradox, says Ursula Sellerberg, spokeswoman for the Federal Organization of German Pharmacists Association (ABDA) in Berlin.

Diazepam, the main ingredient in valium, can lead to anxiousness and sleeplessness among children and older people. Apparently there are no such paradoxes with plant-based sedatives such as valerian drops.
