What is Ambien?
A prescription medicine called Ambien is used to treat insomnia. The active ingredient in Ambien is zolpidem tartrate, which belongs to a class of medications called sedative-hypnotics.
Ambien is prescribed for adults who have difficulty falling or staying asleep, known as insomnia. It can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and increase the total amount of sleep time. Ambien works best when used in conjunction with good sleep habits, like going to bed at the same time each night.
How Ambien Works ?
A sedative-hypnotic medication used to treat insomnia is called Ambien (zolpidem).
Ambien works by:
- Binding to GABA receptors, especially GABA-A receptors
- Enhancing GABA activity in the brain
- Promoting calming effects on the central nervous system
- Allowing sleep to occur more readily
Ambien Dosage
Tablets of 5 mg and 10 mg Ambien are available. The starting dose for most adults is 10 mg. This dose should be taken immediately before bedtime and only when you can have a full 8 hours for sleep.
For elderly patients over the age of 65, the starting dose is 5 mg. This lower dose helps avoid excessive drowsiness and reduces the risk of falls or injury. The maximum dose for elderly patients is 12.5 mg.
It’s important to take Ambien exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Don’t exceed the prescribed dose or take it more often than directed. The medication works best if you get a full night’s sleep after taking it. Taking Ambien during travel can help adjust to a new time zone, but you still need to take it right before bedtime in the destination time zone.
Ambien reaches peak blood levels within 1 hour, so make sure you’re in bed and ready to sleep once you’ve taken it. Setting an alarm is recommended to ensure you don’t inadvertently sleep through the night without getting 8 full hours. Sleeping less than a full 8 hours after taking Ambien can result in impairment the next day.
Precautions
Ambien should be used with caution in certain individuals. Those with severe lung disease, severe liver disease, or sleep apnea may be at higher risk for side effects and should consult their doctor before use.
Since Ambien is a central nervous system depressant, it’s important not to combine it with alcohol or other depressants like opioids, antihistamines, or anxiety medications. This combination can dangerously enhance the sedative effects. Those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse may be more prone to misusing Ambien.
Ambien Interactions
Alcohol
Consuming alcohol while taking Ambien greatly increases the medication’s sedative effects. Even a small amount of alcohol can make someone very sleepy and impair coordination and judgment. The combination of Ambien and alcohol significantly raises the risk of accidents and injury. Alcohol should be avoided entirely when using Ambien.
Opioids
Taking Ambien alongside opioid painkillers like oxycodone or hydrocodone increases the risk of life-threatening respiratory depression and overdose. The combined sedating effects of Ambien and opioids can cause someone to stop breathing altogether. If you are prescribed opioid pain medication, make sure your doctor is aware before taking Ambien. Never mix opioids and Ambien on your own.
Other Sleep Aids
Using Ambien with other sleep medications can lead to an additive effect, causing extreme drowsiness and sedation. Medications like lunesta, sonata, benzodiazepines like Xanax, and antihistamines like Benadryl all have sedating properties. Combining Ambien with any of these drugs increases the risk of side effects. Let your doctor know about any other medications you take to sleep before using Ambien.
Ambien Warnings
Ambien comes with some serious warnings that users should be aware of. One of the most serious is the risk of driving or performing other activities that require mental alertness after taking Ambien. The medication can cause significant drowsiness and may impair coordination, reaction time and judgment. Even the morning after taking Ambien, one may not be fully alert and capable of driving safely. It is best to avoid any potentially dangerous activities altogether after taking this medication.
Another potential risk is that of complex sleep behaviors. There have been reports of people sleepwalking, sleep driving, sleep eating, making phone calls and other activities while not fully awake after taking Ambien. Since the person is asleep, they have no memory of these events. If you live with someone, have them monitor your behavior if starting this medication. Discontinue Ambien immediately if any complex sleep behaviors occur.
Ambien Overdose
Ambien overdose can occur when someone takes too much of the medication, whether intentionally or accidentally. The major symptoms of Ambien overdose include:
- Confusion and disorientation
- Slowed breathing
- Impaired motor skills
- Unconsciousness
Ambien overdose is treated with a medication called flumazenil, which reverses the effects of the Ambien. The person will be monitored closely until the drug is out of their system. Supportive treatment may include fluids, oxygen, and assistance with breathing if needed.
Ambien Addiction
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and excessive worrying
- Insomnia and inability to sleep
- Muscle tension, tremors, and shaking
- Sweating, chills, and fever
- Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Depression, suicidal thoughts
- Seizures (in severe cases)
According to the intensity of Ambien withdrawal, medical detoxification under medical specialists’ guidance is advised.This usually involves slowly tapering off the dosage over time. Cognitive behavioral therapy and joining a support group also helps manage Ambien addiction. With proper treatment, overcoming dependence on Ambien is possible. However, extreme care should be taken if prescribed this medication due to the high risk of abuse.
