Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the query and understood your concern.

Both Restil and clonal exam belongs to same group of drugs and hence can have similar side effect profile. Both can be used for sedation.
Compared to restil, clonal exam can have more sedation and longer duration of action while restil is primarily used as anti anxiety and has few residual effect on the next day.

There may be other rare side effects like dullness, irritability, drowsiness or head ache in the next morning. Starting at low dose will have lesser side effects.

I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
