- Zolpidem is a drug in the imidazopyridine class used to treat insomnia on a short-term basis, some general brain disorders, and off-label for restless leg syndrome. Zolpidem binds to the benzodiazepine cell receptors and begins to take effect within 15 minutes of dosing. Some side-effects of Zolpidem include anterograde amnesia, hallucinations, delusions, altered thought patterns, ataxia, euphoria, dysphoria, increased appetite, decreased libido, impaired judgement, increased impulsivity, and uninhibited extroversion in social or personal settings. The symptoms of overdose include excessive sedation, pin-point pupils, and depressed respiratory function which may progress to coma or death. The benzodiazepine agonist flumazenil is an effective treatment for overdose with Zolpidem. Information from Wikipedia accessed 2008 09 02.
