I was put on them because I have a severe sleep disorder....and I would never go on them again. Two major issues for me (and I tried several before I gave up). First, I couldn't THINK any more, basically I just lost my ability to focus and think laterally, I literally had trouble concentrating on issues and tended to just float off to the "what the heck" category. May have been the right thing for my issue, but it sure damaged my ability to work.
The other thing, it totally destroyed my libido...and that did not go away. I went from a normal guy with normal drives and interests to literally asexual and having zero interest. Has been an extremely difficult thing in my marriage to say the least and I would make the case that this particular aspect of life is not coming back - it has been so for years.
So, while I am sure there are many positive cases for that class of drugs, but keep in mind they are powerful, they dick around with your brain and they ought to be the instrument of last resort for those with severe issues.
I ended up just taking a regular sleeping pill and most of my sleep issues are gone....much less damaging and no material side effects.
