68 Mr. Dean Marcus SapsfordHaving personally suffered the side effects of taking Stilnox, I am deeply distressed to read so much information that shows it should NOT be on the market. The TGA is NOT performing its function, and appears to be too frightened to "bite the hand that feeds it".

71 Brenda ColemanStilnox was prescribed to me by a GP five years ago. He described it as "wonderful, non-addictive and without side effects". However, I became addicted (due to rebound insomnia and anxiety )after the first time I took it. I didn't think it was actually a side effect of the drug (afterall, I was told it had none!) I have five years I can barely remember where I displayed bizarre behaviour such as suicide attempts, amnesia and unexplained phone calls while asleep. I also experienced a withdrawal seizure. Eventually, I spent three weeks in a medical rehab centre to finally detox from the drug. Without private health cover, and the support of family and friends, I would not have been able to afford rehab, and would probably still be in a stilnox "stupor".

75 Irene StevensI have been disturbed by reports from several friends of worrying episodes caused by taking Stilnox, and in particular by the recent death of a young friend, Mairead Costigan,while taking the abovementioned drugs for insomnia. I believe these drugs should be monitored much more closely monitored and possibly banned.

However, I became addicted (due to rebound insomnia and anxiety )after the first time I took it. I didn't initially think it was actually a side effect of the drug (afterall, I was told it had none!) I have five years I can barely remember where I displayed a lot of bizarre behaviour. I also experienced a withdrawal seizure. This drug is a LOT more dangerous than GP's make out, as they are still describing it as "mild and non-addictive". Many patients who are addicted, are not telling the doctor about the side effects, as their primary interest is to be given more, to basically counteract the withdrawal effects they experience the following day. Eventually, I spent three weeks in a medical rehab centre to finally detox from the drug. Without private health cover, and the support of family and friends, I would not have been able to afford rehab, and would probably still be in a stilnox "stupor".

98 Lauren JohnsonI do not think that the warnings of this drug are clearly communicated to the general public. I support the banning of this drug so that other people are not affected the way my cousin and her family have been.

100 Philip BurtI have been speaking with Prof. Geraldine Moses since my partner has been experiencing Stilnox-related parasomnia - manifesting as night-time wandering the streets, night-time bing eating and unknowingly slashing my throat.
