Benzodiazepines are only indicated when the disorder is severe,

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Insomnia _
Treatment should be as short as possible. Generally the duration of
treatment varies from a few days to
two weeks with a maximum, including tapering off process of four
weeks.
In certain cases extension beyond the maximum treatment period may be
necessary; if so, it should not
take place without re-evaluation of the patient’s status.
Treatment should be started with the lowest recommended dose. The
maximum dose should not be
exceeded.
_Adults: _
The usual dosage is 15-30mg before retiring. 15mg is optimal for most
patients. Patients with severe
insomnia may require 30mg but residual effects on awakening,
associated with anxiolytic effects, are
more frequent at this dose.
_Older or debilitated patients: _
Older patients will be particularly susceptible to the adverse effects
of Dalmane. The initial dose should
not exceed 15mg. If organic brain changes are present, the dosage of
Dalmane should be reduced (see
section 4.4).
_Use in patients with hepatic and renal impairment: _
The dosage should be reduced in patients with renal or hepatic
impairment. Dalmane is contraindicated in
patients with severe hepatic failure (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
_Use in patients with chronic pulmonary insufficiency: _
In patients with chronic pulmonary insufficiency the dosage may need
to be reduced
_ _
_Children: _
Not recommended.
