Zolpidem

What is Zolpidem Used for?

Zolpidem is an effective sleeping tablet used to treat people who have difficulty falling asleep. Although most people would know it under the brand names Stilnoct or Ambien, it was first introduced in Europe in 1988, by the pharmaceutical company Synthelabo, now known as Sanofi. Following this, it began to be sold in the U.S in 1992, where its popularity started to surge.

Now, zolpidem is available as a generic medication after the patent on it ran out in 2007. This means that generic manufacturers can produce it and sell it at much lower prices than the branded forms, to help insomnia sufferers all over the world get to sleep quicker and easier. Some people may not even class themselves as having insomnia. Insomnia is defined as trouble with falling or staying asleep, which we feel is incredibly common.

Regardless of how severe your insomnia is, you must ask yourself the questions - are you getting enough sleep at night? Is it affecting you in your day-to-day life? Are you ready to do something about it? If you are, read on and we will delve deeper into how zolpidem can help you.

How Zolpidem Works?

As previously mentioned, zolpidem is available as a generic form of Stilnoct or Ambien. This means that it contains the exact same amount of the active ingredient, 10 mg of zolpidem tartrate and so works in the same way as the branded version would, making it equally as safe and effective. Zolpidem works via a particular mechanism of action. It is known as a nonbenzodiazepine Z drug, and therefore works in similar ways to other medications that also belong to this category, as a sedative-hypnotic.

This means that as well as helping you to fall asleep, it helps to relax you too. It does this via its action on a particular brain chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid, otherwise known as GABA. GABA works by reducing brain activity in the central nervous system. Zolpidem increases the effects of GABA by binding to the same receptors that GABA does, which allows them to release more GABA to increase relaxation and sleepiness.

Available Zolpidem Dosage

There are a few different zolpidem dosages available. Which one you take should depend on a multitude of different criteria. The different dosages are -

• Zolpidem 5 mg - this dosage is often more than sufficient for many people who struggle to get to sleep. It is also often used as a starting dose, for those who do need stronger doses, but want to see exactly how the medication affects them first. Once they find they do not suffer from many side effects, they are able to increase their dose. This dose is more often taken by women, who often are smaller than men and so require less dosage, and older people, who have lower organ function and so are recommended to not take larger doses of medication if it can be avoided.
• Zolpidem 10 mg - this dosage is the maximum recommended daily dose a day. It is used by those who have taken zolpidem 5 mg and found that the effects are insufficient for them. Men more often use this dose. If you take this dose and find that you are experiencing excessive side effects, you should look to reduce your dose to the 5 mg tablet instead.

How to Take Zolpidem?

Zolpidem should be taken much in the same way as many other sleeping pills - one pill before you go to sleep swallowed whole with a glass of water. As the medication takes around 1 hour to work, you may wish to take the tablet slightly before you go to bed, to reduce the amount of time you are waiting for the effects to kick in. Care should be taken however to not take the medication too early, and not when you have any activities to complete before going to bed.

If you take zolpidem early, it should only be done while in your own home, and preferably while you are already in your bedroom. Additionally, zolpidem is only intended for short-term use, so when you find you are back into the rhythm of falling asleep at the correct time, and staying asleep through the night, you should look to slowly reduce the dose of zolpidem.

For example, you should take 10 mg for a few days, and reduce that to 7.5 mg for the next few days. Follow this with a 5 mg dose, then a 2.5 mg dose, with the eventual aim to be able to fall asleep without the use of zolpidem at all. To achieve this, you can split doses to taper more effectively - so to get a 2.5 mg dose you can split a 10 mg tablet into quarters, or a 5 mg dose in half.

How Long Does Zolpidem Last?

How long zolpidem lasts depends upon a number of factors, not only dosage. After taking a tablet, this medication should last for a minimum of 6 hours, and usually around 8 hours. Therefore, it is advantageous to ensure that you can get a full 8 hours of rest before you take a tablet, as having to wake up prior to this can result in excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be dangerous if you need to perform duties such as driving or using heavy machinery.

There are certain things you can do to increase how long the effects of zolpidem last, one of them being meditation. Of course, this is not for everyone, but a 2014 study found that meditation had incredible outcomes when used as a treatment for insomnia. Participants meditated daily over the course of several weeks and attended a day retreat. The scientists running the study found that people were able to get to sleep quicker, for longer, with fewer incidences of waking up in the night.

Is Zolpidem Safe?

This medication is completely safe for most people who choose to use it. It is only in incredibly rare circumstances that people have had reactions to this medication when they have followed the typical dosage and usage instructions as advised by the manufacturer. An example of this is to ensure that you do not exceed the maximum recommended dosage.

Additionally, this medication has been licensed and approved by healthcare regulatory bodies all over the world, from the United States Food and Drug Administration to the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This means that not only is this medication safe for human consumption, but it is also effective for use in its primary purpose, for insomnia. There are some people who should not take this medication.

The main contraindication is allergies associated with zolpidem. Like any medication, there are some people who may have an allergy or hypersensitivity to this zolpidem. If this is the case, under no circumstances should you take it? This can result in serious swelling of the face and lips or even hospitalisation. Fortunately, this is extremely rare.

Learn About Zolpidem Side Effects

As with any medication, there are occasionally some side effects that can be experienced when taking this medication. Fortunately, these side effects do not often occur, and when they do occur, they are very rarely more than moderate. The most common side effects that can be experienced when taking this medication are:

• Headaches - A common side effect with any sleeping tablets, headaches are one of the most common side effects when taking zolpidem too. One way to reduce the risk of experiencing headaches is to ensure that you stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. We also recommend that you take your zolpidem tablet with a full glass of water too.
• Developing a metallic or bitter taste in the mouth - This is a particularly common side effect when taking this medication. One way to solve this is by using a mouthwash alongside this medication, which can mask the metallic taste until it disappears by itself.

Please note that these are just some examples of side effects that you may experience, you should refer to the manufacturer for a full list of side effects.

Why Buy Zolpidem Online?

Although some people prefer to still purchase things in person, online shopping is becoming increasingly popular every year. Further to this, buying medications like zolpidem online is also becoming increasingly popular too, for multiple reasons. Some of these reasons are:

• No prescription needed - When trying to get sleeping pills such as zolpidem or zopiclone in person, it is required that you first get an appointment with a doctor (which can be difficult enough to get), and then get approved by that doctor for a prescription for the medication that you need. Fortunately, when buying generic medications online from pharmacies such as ours, there is no prescription necessary, allowing you to buy whatever you need, whenever you need it.
• Discretion - Some people find that having to discuss their issues with another person, whether that be a doctor or pharmacist face-to-face, can be embarrassing. When ordering online, discretion is the name of the game. Not only do you not have to speak to anyone regarding your order, but your order is sent out in neutral packaging, which means that nobody, not even the postal worker, knows what you have bought.
