Ambien also known as Zolpidem
Most Common Medical Uses
Zolpidem is commonly used to treat sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep, waking up many times during the night, or waking up too early in the morning. Zolpidem is for short-term use only--usually 7 to 10 days. Zolpidem may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.
How to Take This Medication
Take zolpidem exactly as directed by your doctor. Take each dose with a full glass of water just before bed time. It will make you drowsy, and you could fall and hurt yourself if you take your dose too long before you are ready for sleep. Do not take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Do not stop taking zolpidem suddenly if you have been taking it for several weeks. Stopping suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms and make you uncomfortable.
Possible Side Effects
Stop taking zolpidem and seek emergency medical attention if you experience: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, face, or tongue; hives); or hallucinations, abnormal behavior, or severe confusion. Continue to take zolpidem and talk to your doctor if you experience headache, drowsiness, dizziness, or clumsiness; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation; depression; muscle aches or pains; vivid or abnormal dreams; or amnesia (memory loss) after a dose. Zolpidem is habit forming. Stopping this medication suddenly can cause withdrawal effects if you have taken it continuously for several weeks. Talk to your doctor about the safe use of this medication. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Precautions
Tell your doctor if you have ever had liver disease prior to taking lansoprazole. You may not be able to take lansoprazole, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment. Do not take lansoprazole without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding a baby.
Drug Interactions
Zolpidem may increase the effects of other drugs that cause drowsiness, including antidepressants, alcohol, antihistamines, other sedatives (used to treat insomnia), pain relievers, anxiety medicines, and muscle relaxants. Tell your doctor about all medicines that you are taking, and do not take any medicine unless your doctor approves. Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with zolpidem. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over the counter medicines.
Missed Dose
Since zolpidem is usually taken only if you need it to help you sleep, missing a dose will not cause any problems. Take the missed dose only if you can be sure that you will get 7 or 8 full hours of sleep after the dose. If you do not sleep for 7 or 8 full hours, you may experience carryover effects from zolpidem after you wake up. Do not take a double dose of this medication.
Storage
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
Notes
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Zolpidem will cause drowsiness and may cause dizziness. If you experience drowsiness or dizziness, avoid these activities. Zolpidem should be taken just before bedtime but you may experience some carryover effects the next day. Do not drink alcohol while taking zolpidem. Do not share zolpidem with others for whom it was not prescribed, since they may have a problem that is not effectively treated by this drug.
