Zolpidem.

Zolpidem is an efficient medicine that can be taken by patients unable to rest well because of insomnia (trouble falling and staying asleep). It is supposed to be taken 5-10 minutes before going to bed, and you are not supposed to eat a lot before taking it. Eating any amount of food can slow down the absorption of zolpidem and decrease the efficiency of your treatment. Zolpidem is a drug of abuse and should never be shared with other people. When you stop taking it a few withdrawal symptoms may be experienced, such as panic, vomiting, seizure, stomach pain, muscle cramps, behavior changes, sweating, anxiety, and nausea. Your doctor must know all the information you possess about your own health condition – for example, if you have lung disease, a history of drug or alcohol addiction, kidney disease, myasthenia gravis, liver disease, or sleep apnea. The fact of taking any other drugs besides zolpidem is also supposed to be reported, especially if you are using mental illness drugs, colds or allergies meds, sedatives, other sleeping pills, tranquilizers, seizure medications, medications for anxiety, or antidepressants.
