What is Ambien?

Sedatives like Ambien are also referred to as hypnotics. Those who suffer from insomnia may have imbalanced brain chemistry, which is affected by the drug ambien (zolpidem).

Sleeplessness is treated with ambien. You take the immediate-release tablet as soon as you go to bed to aid in falling asleep. The Ambien CR extended-release version features two distinct layers: a rapidly dissolving first layer that promotes sleep and a slowly dissolving second layer that promotes sleep retention.

Zolpidem may cause side effects.
drowsiness
tiredness
headache
dizziness
lightheadedness

Overdosage of Ambien

When zolpidem is taken excessively, either by itself or in combination with other drugs, it can cause a coma or even death. When Ambien is taken at greater dosages or in combination with opioids or another CNS depressant (such as alcohol, other z-drugs, or benzodiazepines), the risk of suffering an overdose increases. Potential overdose symptoms could be as follows:1

Impaired consciousness.
Extreme sedation.
severe respiratory depression, as seen by irregular, shallow, or delayed breathing.
