What drug can replace nitrazepam? It is mainly about the sleeping effect. Herbal medicines, syrups, melatonin and sleep do not work. I take nitrazepam (supplies) occasionally (1 - 2x a month or not at all) before longer car journeys to get some sleep. The goal - not to kill someone or yourself. Every day I sleep poorly, but I don't take anything, because it doesn't make sense. None of the weaker drugs is effective. This psychotropic drug was good - taken early enough before leaving for the night.

Over-the-counter preparations have a much weaker effect than nitrazepam and may not have the expected effect. Nitrazepam is a psychotropic benzodiazepine drug with a medium duration of action. This drug has been discontinued, but there are other psychotropic drugs on the market that could potentially have a similar therapeutic effect. However, it is necessary to consult a doctor who, based on your health condition and treatment history, will be able to recommend the appropriate therapeutic procedure, and will prescribe an appropriate preparation if necessary.
By the way, I would like to mention that cognitive-behavioral therapy, i.e. changing daily habits and following the principles of sleep hygiene, is important in the treatment of insomnia. These include, m.in:
1) Sticking to regular times of getting up and going to bed and taking care of the right amount of sleep (about 7-8 hours).
2) Avoid exposure to strong light 3 hours before bedtime and at least 1-2 hours before bedtime to blue light emitted by electronic devices, e.g. phone or TV.
3) Do not fall asleep on a full stomach, it is recommended to eat the last meal at least 2 hours before bedtime, it should be light.
4) You should take care of the right conditions in the bedroom, it should be quiet, dark and cool (the appropriate temperature range is 16-22°C).
5) Do not fall asleep by force. If you have trouble falling asleep, get up and do a relaxing and unengaging activity of your choice, while not exposing yourself to intense light. It may be a good idea, for example, to do stretching exercises or listen to relaxing music until you feel sleepy.
6) It is worth taking care of regular physical activity, which improves the quality of sleep.
