An Addiction to Ambien

Ambien or Zolpidem is an over the counter sleeping medication. Ambien does not require a prescription. Ambien in increased doses is addictive. The addict fights the sleep inducing effect of ambience and finds euphoria.

Ambien is taken as a tablet or snorted. Though the manufacturers of ambient have put a protective cover over the medication, addicts empty the contents for snorting. The effects of ambient addiction are delusions, hallucinations, poor motor coordination, increased appetite and decreased libido. Ambien addicts walk in their sleep and talk in their sleep. Withdrawal symptoms include aggression, depression and insomnia. Ambien addiction is harmful to health. Increased doses of ambien cause kidney failure, liver disease, brain disorders and heart attacks. The sleepwalking induced by ambien can have fatal results because addicts are not in control over their movements. Ambien addiction is cured by residential addiction treatments.
