A member asked:
She's been on 10 mg / daily of ambien (zolpidem) for 28 days. she doesn't like how it makes her feel, so she skipped last night's dose. today she's lightheaded and dizzy. she doesn't want to take this medicine any more. can she safely stop?

Taper: Hi, due to possible withdrawal symptoms that she has a taper off the medication would be ideal. Try full dose and half dose every other day for one week, the next week go to half dose every day and finally half dose every other day with none on the other days for one week and off. She should also talk to the doctor about how the medicine is making her feel.
