A member asked:

Pretty sure this nausea ive been having is from my recent med change to ambien. does it get better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medication effects : Nausea from Ambien is common. I believe that it may not go away if you have it. The first-line treatment for insomnia is good sleep hygiene
