Have you ever seen a grand mal seizure associated with ambienAmbien Ambien cr withdrawl? I was taking 10 mg a night for two years then didn't take it for two nights and had a seizure.
Seizures are indeed a symptom that is associated with withdrawal of the drug.
Taken from the consumer information for zolpidem (Ambien):
"Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without first talking to your doctor. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Withdrawal symptoms include behavior changes, stomach pain, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, panic, tremors, and seizure (convulsions). "
You should consult a physician to assess your withdrawal symptoms.
Hope this information helps.
