Mental Health
Zolpidem is a prescription sleep medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It works by acting on GABA receptors in the brain to produce a calming effect, helping people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Zolpidem is not a benzodiazepine, but it has similar sedative effects. It is typically used for short durations due to risks such as drowsiness, dependence, and next-day impairment.
