A member asked:
Does zolpidem 5mg tablet has side effects of drowsiness in morning ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Zolpidem usually has a 15 to 30 minute onset and has a half life of 2 to 3 hours. So it depends typically on when you take it. If it is in the middle of the night, it is possible. If you continue to have drowsiness in the mornings, consult with your sleep medicine specialist for alternative treatment modalities. Additionally avoid operating heavy machinery when drowsy. Hope this helps!
