Insomnia
"I was prescribed zolpidem to treat my sleep issues.  I took it for about two months.  It did allow me to sleep through the night, however I noticed significant mood changes.  I became very aggressive and emotional at the drop of a hat.  I became concerned because I could not fall asleep without taking zolpidem.  I became shaky at times and just didn&#039;t feel right.  I found a new doctor and have been off the zolpidem for a week now.  She gave me trazodone which is not so addictive.  I have slept the last two nights with no medicines at all.  I am feeling so much better.  I know everyone reacts differently to medicine but I feel that the zolpidem made things worse for me.  I am relieved to be off of zolpidem."
