Zolpidem is used to treat sleep problems (insomnia) in adults. If you have trouble falling asleep, it helps you fall asleep faster, so you can get a better night's rest. Zolpidem belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect.Diazepam is used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. Valium belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).

WARNING!!! This drug has horrible side effects with long term usage. Took for 8 yrs half pills of 10mg to sleep. I ended up hospitalized with hallucinations and anxiety attacks when trying to come off the pills. rebound insomnia lasted a few months. Hell to get off. TAKE a natural melatonin supplement. This drug is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and has bad side effects!!!!

I have fibromyalgia. This causes interrupted sleep to the point I cannot function the following day. Once my doctor started me on Ambien, my sleep pattern improved, my pain was more manageable and my mental status has greatly improved. Because I have been on this medication for quite some time, my physician wants to get me off of it. On the nights I take it, I wake up rested and refreshed. T ...

Have had chronic back and neck pain for years, but because I was so young no one would believe me. Had multiple neck injuries as teen in high school and at that time there were no advanced imaging technologies of today. Years of pain killers only muffled the pain where I could function. Then in ER visit they gave me Valium for 10 days. I dreamed for the first time in years, I was able to get comfortable to get a good night sleep. Now the neurosurgeon is saying its time for surgery . they lessened the muscle relaxer to xanaflex and only sleep 4 hours then wide awake again.

I was prescribed this drug in 1984 and It completely destroyed my health and ruined my life. I became addicted to it and the protracted withdrawal effects lasted years and were absolutely horrific

I am a 26 year old female who has suffered from panic attacks and anxiety since high-school. I got to the point to where I was so anxious that I could not eat and was down to 97lbs. I was on klonopin for a while until my body became immune to it. I started losing more weight and even hair. I was then switched to valium and it is certainly a miracle drug. NO side effects what so ever... I am puttin ...
