Ambien Addiction
In the United States, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reveals that over half a million individuals turn to Ambien and similar sedatives. Shockingly, an average of 750 people daily misuse Ambien, underlining the pressing need for assistance in combating Ambien addiction. At 4 Healthy Living Detox, we offer vital support for those grappling with physical dependence on Ambien.
Unraveling Ambien Addiction: A Comprehensive Overview
Zolpidem tartrate, commonly recognized as Ambien, falls within the non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotics category. It functions by activating the GABA neurotransmitter, inducing a slowing effect on the central nervous system and the brain. Prescribed primarily for insomnia and other sleep disorders, Ambien's approval is limited to short-term use. Despite its therapeutic benefits, Ambien shares similarities with benzodiazepines, and misuse can result in substance abuse. Two primary forms of Ambien sleep medications exist: a quick-release version facilitating sleep onset and a slow-release variant aiding in sustaining sleep. Both formulations pose a risk of Ambien addiction, with dependence possible in as little as two weeks. The journey toward Ambien dependence typically commences with tolerance, compelling increased drug intake to achieve anticipated effects. Warning signs of Ambien addiction, as identified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, include:
-
Isolation
-
Amnesia
-
Depression
-
Mood swings
-
Sleepwalking
-
Doctor shopping
-
Strange behavior
-
Muscle weakness
-
Frequent blackouts
-
Unusual talkativeness
-
Impaired coordination
-
Hypersexual behavior
-
Uncontrollable shaking
​
Inability to stop using the drug
​
An inherent concern with Ambien usage is the potential for overdose. Rapid tolerance buildup necessitates escalating doses, elevating the risk of unintentional overdose. Symptoms of an Ambien overdose include excessive drowsiness, slowed breathing rate, loss of consciousness, slowed heart rate, and, in severe cases, coma. Given the life-threatening nature of an Ambien overdose, seeking immediate help is imperative. 4 Healthy Living Detox stands ready to initiate a successful Ambien addiction treatment.
