What is Zolpidem ER?

Zolpidem ER is a generic prescription sedative used only in the short term—a few days—to relieve intermittent insomnia. Chronic insomnia is usually caused by other conditions which Zolpidem ER will not treat, but only provide symptom relief. Because Zolpidem ER is highly addictive, it is not appropriate for chronic insomnia.

Zolpidem ER is a benzodiazepine, a type of drug that enhances the action of a chemical that blocks nerve signals and so slows activity in the brain. Unlike other benzodiazepines, Zolpidem ER does not relax the muscles.

Zolpidem ER is taken as a tablet before bedtime. The dose will depend on the nature and severity of the insomnia symptoms.

What are the side effects of Zolpidem ER?

Zolpidem ER is a potent sedative and hypnotic (sleep-inducing) drug, so the most common side effects are sleepiness, drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of coordination, and a general feeling of “being drugged.” Other side effects include headache, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and visual changes.

The most hazardous side effects caused by Zolpidem ER are complex sleep behaviors, such as sleepwalking, sleep sex, sleep cooking and eating, and, most hazardous of all, sleep-driving (getting out of bed while asleep and driving a vehicle). Patients typically do not remember these events. Zolpidem ER must be discontinued if you do any of these activities while taking Zolpidem ER.

Mental and mood changes are common side effects and include euphoria, depression, confusion, abnormal thoughts, hallucinations, agitation, aggression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

Allergic reactions to Zolpidem ER are uncommon and may include swelling, rash, or trouble breathing.

Zolpidem ER is an addictive drug and dependence occurs quickly, typically in a few days. Zolpidem ER is not intended for frequent or long-term use. Zolpidem ER does have withdrawal symptoms when discontinued: insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, sweating, tremors, cramps, depression delirium, seizures, and drug cravings. Zolpidem ER should be discontinued only under the supervision of a doctor.
