What Causes Sleeplessness And Balance Issues Post Intake Of Zolpidem?
Question: I took a zolpidem....can't get to sleep. Feel woozy....unsteady on my feet.
Brief Answer:
side effects...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
feeling woozy and unsteady are probably due to zolpidem, as they are common side effects. Sometimes zolpidem is not enough for people with sleeping problems, particularly if it has been used for a long time. The same applies for benzodiazepines like bromazepam, alprazolam, diazepam, etc.
It's effects wear off soon. They are not supposed to last for more than 10-12 hours and they should be much less intense after 2-3 hours.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
