Please help me, i would like a healthier alternative, or how i can taper off zolpidem. i am 5 weeks pregnant?

Zolpidem: Zolpidem (Ambien) is not cleared as "safe" in pregnancy. Ask your OB physician for a schedule to decrease the zolpidem, and if insomnia is a problem, try melitonin , which (under 3 mg) is considered safe.
