Insomnia is a sleep disorder where individuals find it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up earlier than desired, often leading to fatigue and poor daily functioning. Causes can include stress, irregular sleep schedules, chronic health conditions, or mental health challenges like anxiety or depression. Certain lifestyle habits, such as consuming too much caffeine or alcohol, can also interfere with restful sleep. (Source: National Sleep Foundation)

Everlife's Doctors can prescribe Restora-z which is a Pharmacist formulated compound of Hydroxyzine, Trazadone and Doexpin.

Hydroxyzine (generic Vistaril) is an FDA approved prescription antihist amine shown to lessen activity in your body's central nervous system. Hydroxyzine has a calming effect on your brain and can cause sleepiness. Because of that, doctors have found that it can be helpful in treating both insomnia and anxiety. Like lower strength overt the counter antihistamines such as Nyquil or Benadryl, Hydroxyzine should only be taken when you are ready for sleep. Hydroxyzine is a non habit forming, non narcotic medication.

Trazodone (generic Desyrel) is an FDA approved, non habit forming medication that works to regulate serotonin, the neurotransmitter which helps brain cells communicate with each other and influences many activities such as sleep, mood, behavior and appetite. At low doses, trazodone can help you to feel relaxed, tired, and sleepy. It does this by partially blocking chemicals in the brain that interact with serotonin and other neurotransmitters that cause your mind and body to race at night, when in fact they should be settling down for sleep.

Doxepin is an FDA approved medication that works by blocking histamine receptors, particularly the H1 receptor, which plays a significant role in wakefulness. By inhibiting these receptors, doxepin helps decrease arousal in the central nervous system, allowing for the maintenance of sleep. This action helps individuals stay asleep longer, particularly by reducing night-time awakenings.

Restora-Z is a pharmacist-formulated prescription sleep aid designed to target multiple aspects of sleep disturbances. It contains:

• Trazodone (28 mg): Helps initiate and maintain sleep.
• Hydroxyzine (28 mg): Reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation.
• Doxepin (6 mg): Improves sleep duration and overall quality.

This unique 3-in-1 formulation is crafted to provide effective, restorative sleep support.

Restora-z uses very low doses of three powerful Prescription drugs to minimize side effects and synergistically promote deep restful sleep. This is a unique new sleep Compound designed directly for Everlife patients.
