message: Mirtazapine has sedative propierties, but it is not a sedative  (RAúl Aparicio BUSTillo) FONT: Proper experence at 15-45 mg dose   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.221.157.92 (talk) 12:34, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Can someone edit the page as it gives the impression that hypnotic drugs are used for surgury- they are NOT
Hypnotic drug:  Diphenhydramine; chloral hydrate; temazepam; pentobarbital
General Anesthetic: Propofol; ketamine; phenobarbital
"Sedatives" should also be replaced  with Anxiolytics so they dont get confused with hypnotics.
there are a lot of grey areas yes: but somethings (like diphenhydramine) hbelong to one class only.
Sedatives = depressants, lower excitation 
Anxyolitics = those drugs used for panic and anxiety disorders, eg Diazepam
Hypnotics = "Sleeping Pills"
Tranqulizer = Powerful sedative with anesthetic properties (Ketamine) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.46.213 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hypnotics are NOT general anesthetics!! 

message: I think that the article hypnotic should be merged into the sedative article and renamed to sedative hypnotic. Sedative hypnotic drugs are basically the same thing, only that hypnotics tend to be prescribed at higher doses to induce sleep and tend to be shorter acting. For example diazepam is long acting and thus is mainly marketed for day time use. Temazepam is more short acting and is marketed for insomnia, ie a hypnotic. The same goes for barbiturate sedative hypnotics. Longer acting ones are or were used for day time control of anxiety or seizures and shorter acting ones tended to be used more for insomnia.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 10:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The section about "adverse effects" is empty.  This will give readers the impression that there is no issue about adverse effects.  
The following study by Kripke et al. does suggest very substantial adverse effects, and this study has gotten a lot of attention in the media as well: "Hypnotics' association with mortality or cancer: a matched cohort study".  I'll leave for others to decide what to do with this information here.Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:12, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

message: New-generation antihistamines don't have as many sedative or other side effects because they are more selective for H1 receptors and are less active at other receptors, not because they do not cross the blood-brain barrier.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.53.106.181 (talk) 22:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
