Just prescribed ambien, (zolpidem) what can i expect when taking this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully good dream: Seriously, hopefully some sleep. But, occasionally some people do have problems with it. Most common side effects are headache, dizziness, or drugged feeling. Other side effects include sleepwalking and withdrawal if taken for an extended period of time.
