Quazepam (Doral) is the generic name for a prescription sleeping pill. It is in a class of sedative hypnotics called Benzodiazepines. They are the oldest class of sleep medications/drugs that are still commonly prescribed. Quazepam, and Benzodiazepines as a group, are considered to more habit-forming than other insomnia sedative hypnotics such as Non-Benzodiazepines. Both are classified as controlled substances, although recent formulations of the drugs have attempted to lessen the side-effects. Quazepam is now less frequently prescribed than other sleep aid drugs such as Ambien CR and Lunesta, which are a non-benzodiazepines.

The most common side-effects of Quazepam include: dizziness, drowsiness, lack of cooridination, and light-headedness. This is serious stuff so medical supervision is essential and should be taken only as a last resort to treat short-term insomnia.
