I have heard all that but the doctors seem to prescribe it so freely even for long periods of time.  I havent had any reactions and Ive been off and on for 2 years.  However I am suddenly last year having nervous system problems, what do you think

Hi,

How are you?
Ambien is the trade name of zolpidem. It is a prescription sleep aid prescribed for insomnia.
Ambien can cause a severe allergic reaction. If it occurs one needs to inform the doctor immediately.
Ambien can be used as a short term sleep aid. It can cause side effects like depression, aggression, sleep problems, drowsiness, in coordination, vivid dreams, headache and blurred vision.
One should avoid operating heavy machinery and driving and alcohol while taking ambient. Hope this helps!
