A member asked:
I abruptly stopped.taking zolpidem because i felt that is wasnt working and i took them longer then recommended. how long does withdrawal last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insomnia: The only withdrawal you usually see from zolpidem is insomnia. If the insomnia was long term before you started the zolpidem, it may continue after you stop taking the medication. There should be no other side effects or withdrawal symptoms, but you may still find yourself needing something to help you sleep
