Ambien

If you’ve sought medical attention for insomnia over the two decades, there’s a good chance that you’ve been prescribed Zolpidem, originally marketed under the brand name Ambien. There are now a number of FDA-approved generic versions of the drug, typically prescribed for short-term (2-6 weeks) treatment of sleeping disorders.

Zolpidem has been associated with a variety of detrimental side effects, including:

• Headaches, nausea and vomiting, typically during the withdrawal period
• Hallucinations or nightmares
• Some degree of amnesia
• Mood swings
• Impaired reasoning or judgment
• Night eating disorder—where most of your daily calories are consumed shortly before you go to bed
• Impulsive or extroverted behavior
• Sleepwalking
• Binge eating while asleep
