Ambien (Zolpidem)
Among the controlled hypnotics that are used for the treatment of insomnia, zolpidem (Ambien) is one very popularly prescribed. Its widespread availability and use are caused by a great applicability of the drug in the management of both sleep and some psychological disorders.
However, due to many controversies that have arisen around the drug, many people question the efficacy of Ambien and also attribute various dangerous effects to it.
Ambien is commonly given to people suffering from insomnia. Even though not strictly a benzodiazepine drug, Ambien still belongs to this group of medications due to its habit-forming properties and typical side effects.
Nevertheless, its benefits very often outweigh the risks; numerous cases of short-term therapy with this hypnotic in adults have proven successful. Experience of using zolpidem in children is limited.
Normally, Ambien and similar sleeping pills find their best use in people who, at some point in their lives, begin experiencing a bout of sleepless nights. A condition like this may take place in case of minor neurological issues. The result may appear in one of the following forms of insomnia:
- inability to fall asleep – sleep onset insomnia;
- middle-of-the-night sleep disturbance – sleep-maintaining insomnia;
- early morning awakening – late insomnia.
Overall, all the above types of sleep disorders may result in Ambien prescription. Using this or other hypnotics for relaxation purposes is not recommended as it can seriously influence your sleep-wake cycle and even produce a paradoxical reaction (worsened sleep).
