AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user experiencing severe sleep disorders and seeking alternatives to prescribed medications, Dormicum (Midazolam) and Lexotanil (Bromazepam), which have caused side effects like waking during the night and a hangover effect. The user is cautious about the potential liver damage associated with these medications and only takes them occasionally. They request suggestions for other sleep aids, acknowledging that this may not be the appropriate forum for medical advice. However, responses emphasize the importance of consulting a doctor for safe alternatives, particularly due to the risks associated with liver health.

You can say I have severe sleeping disorder. I have consulted two doctors and they said the same thing. Wake early and exercise; and each prescribed different sleeping pills: Dormicum (Midazolam) and Lexotanil (Bromazepam). Here I can get these pills even without prescription. I have used Dormicum the most. After taking it sometimes I would wake up several times during night and in the morning I had a bad tasting mouth and there was little hangover. By the way, I don't take these pills regularly - I know they can severely damage liver - I take them with warm milk only when it's must. Could please suggest some other tablet which could do the trick? I understand this is not the right place to ask this but hope you would help. Thanks a lot.

What you're asking for is beyond the scope of what the PF guidelines allow. Especially with the possibility of liver damage - that's nothing to mess around with.

Please consult your doctor about this.

This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
