Q. How long can hypnotics be used?

A. The longest research studies demonstrate that BzRA hypnotics are safe and effective when used every night for 6-12 months, and many individuals have taken hypnotics for years without difficulty. Therefore, there is no established limit to the duration of use. Nevertheless, it seems prudent and practical to stop the hypnotic treatment occasionally to see if the need for treatment continues.
