What is Silenor?

Silenor is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Somaxon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Silenor is classed as a miscellaneous anxiolytic, sedative, and hypnotic, tricyclic antidepressant, indicated for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep maintenance. It is not known how this medication improves sleep but may be due to blocking histamine receptors.

Take 6 mg as the initial dose, once daily for adults, and 3 mg once daily for the elderly. Take within 30 minutes of bedtime. The total daily dose should not exceed 6 mg.
