My mother, 91 years of age, takes Zolipedem nightly for sleep. Recently she had a virus and did not take it during the illness. Since then she has been taking it nightly with feeling during the day unsteady on her feet, listlessness and no energy to do things as she normally does. She takes the 10mg dosage. BC&BS notified her today that she is at risk taking this. How should we proceed?
