Dangerous Ambien Side Effects

What is Ambien?

Ambien is one of several central nervous system depressants prescribed for insomnia. It is only meant to be taken for 2 weeks. It doesn’t take long to become addicted to this drug.

Ambien is a type of sedative-hypnotic medication. This means that it causes a calming response (sedative effect) as well as induces sleep (hypnotic effect). It is extremely dangerous to operate machinery or drive while using Ambien. You should go to bed immediately after taking Ambien. Ambien can cause sleepwalking or sleep driving. A person using Ambien may suddenly awake in a different part of the home, or even in a different part of the city, without remembering how they got there.

Your body’s responses are slowed when you take Ambien. The drug’s hypnotic effects can also cause:

  • Impaired coordination
  • Impaired memory
  • Slurred speech
  • Irritability
  • Excitement and unusual behavior

Ambien can be a difficult drug to break away from. Do you want to stop using Ambien? Contact an addiction specialist to get solutions to Ambien addiction.
