Ambien
(Zolpidem, Stilnox, Stilnoct, Hypnogen, Zolt, Zolfresh, Namadorm, Sanval, Myslee)
AMBIEN is a short-acting hypnotic that binds to the same receptors as a benzodiazepine and is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia. Its hypnotic effects are similar to benzodiazepines, but it is considered a class of sedative drugs called imidazopryidines.
AMBIEN binds to GABA receptors and can cause amnesia, delusions, altered thought patterns and impaired judgment. Reports have linked episodes of sleepwalking and related strange and dangerous behavior to Ambien. An analysis of the controlled clinical trials, showed little difference between Ambien and benzodiazepines in terms of sleep onset or duration, quality of sleep, adverse effects, tolerance, rebound insomnia, daytime alertness or physical dependence.
Some studies show that AMBIEN may alter the sleep architecture in the same way that benzodiazepines do - by reducing the amounts of restorative Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and increasing the non-restorative sleep patterns. This can result in daytime drowsiness and poor cognitive function. Therefore only short-term use of Ambien is recommended and discontinuation should be done in a gradual dose reduction.
People We've Helped
This program has revolutionized my health, which had been compromised for years due in part to the use of prescription sleep aids. After several months on the program, I have never felt better, and am sleeping without the use of medication for the first time in years. Not only have I experienced great success, I recommended them to many who have also had the same results. I highly recommend POR. - Pastor Stephen, Illinois (AMBIEN) more...
