by Jane Z. Taff

The most popular name of Zolpidem Tartrate is Generic Ambien or Ambien. It is a sleeping medication, which is prescribed by the doctor to his patients suffering from excessive insomnia or other extreme problems related to sleeping. But there are many people who don’t know the specific purpose of the medicine.

It can help them in getting out of their sleeping problems. Along with this there are some people who don’t know how to use it. They take these medicines without consulting a doctor, which in turn can be very dangerous.

Ambien has many side effects just as other medicines have. A person can suffer from side effects such as drowsiness, headaches, suicidal thoughts, constipation, nausea and some allergic reactions. Hence, it is very essential to note that one should not consume the medicine for more than 10 days without proper prescription of a doctor.

It is also advisable to refrain from taking these medicines for a prolonged period of time. There are many withdrawal symptoms of this drug and you might also have to face some. Other than the above-mentioned side effects, one side effect that is unusual is weight gain.

This is the result of some strange and awkward sleep behaviors. In the year 2008 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the safety guidelines for the Ambien tablets to warn of the risks abnormal thinking and unusual behavior. There are some cases in which people using the Ambien tablets have been found to be the victim of sleepwalk.

Along with this, some people were noticed as eating, cooking and even driving in while they were asleep and they were unable to remember any of these incidents. Among all these sleeping disorders which are mentioned above, the most common reported by patients is sleep-eating disorder. The studies made on Ambien consuming patients have revealed the most astonishing fact that some of those people went to their patients and ate large amount of high calorie food.

This sleep eating disorder leads to weight gain and obesity in patients. As there are so many side effects attached to this medicine tablets, it is strongly advised that the medicines be consumed only when very essential and that too under proper guidance of a doctor. The doctor will prescribe the quantity to be consumed and the time when it should be taken and the patients must strictly follow it.

People should not take overdose of the drug and should not mix alcohol with the medication as it can worsen the side effects of the drug. Pregnant women are also advised not to use Ambien pills for their sleeping problems during pregnancy as in that case they may suffer from the withdrawal side effects of Ambien at the later stage. Overall it can be concluded that while it is safe to take Ambien drugs for the sleeping problems, but they should be taken in a specific way according to the guidelines of the doctor.
