Ambien.

Ambien (zolpidem) is a sedative-hypnotic remedy specially designed for the treatment of insomnia. It can be taken by people to whom it was prescribed and must never be shared with others, even if you think they may benefit from that kind of treatment. You will need to make sure your Ambien dose is the right one – this can be done by telling your doctor about any medical conditions you have that may potentially be contraindications (sleep apnea, liver or kidney disease, myasthenia gravis, bronchitis, depression, or asthma), as well as any meds you are using at the moment that can cause interactions (medications for anxiety, seizure medications, tranquilizers, colds or allergies meds, other sleeping pills, sedatives, antidepressants, or mental illness drugs). Your doctor will need to know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as taking Ambien is not the best idea for such women. Mild side effects that are possible at the beginning of your treatment may include constipation, weakness, muscle aches, stomach pain, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, eye redness, gas, dry mouth, diarrhea, heartburn, and changes in appetite. They are unlikely to last for too long.
