Ambien SymptomsAn Ambien addiction can develop with regular use of the drug for an extended amount of time. It can also develop if the user begins to abuse the drug by disobeying the prescription as directed by their doctor, such as taking more of the drug than they should, or by taking it improperly. Examples of this include crushing the pill and swallowing it, crushing and snorting it, or melting it down for injection.


However, Ambien Symptoms can be hard to spot, both for the user and for others. Ambien Symptoms include:


  • Mood swings, between euphoria and aggression
  • Augmented sensitivity (to sights and noises)
  • Activity swings (long terms of sleep followed by long terms of activity)
  • Preoccupation with having or using Ambien
  • Drug-seeking behavior, such as doctor-shopping
  • The onset of withdrawal symptoms when Ambien is absent


Every person taking Ambien, whether through prescription or illegally, is vulnerable to an Ambien addiction, although not everyone will develop one.
