Did you use Ambien to Treat Your Acute Insomnia?


Ambien is prescribed to treat several types of insomnia, including acute insomnia. Acute Insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks and six months.

In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease or psychological problem. In this case, medical or psychological help may be useful.

All sedative drugs have the potential of causing psychological dependence where the individual can't psychologically accept that they can sleep without drugs. Certain classes of sedatives such as benzodiazepines and newer non-benzodiazepine drugs can also cause physical dependence, which manifests in withdrawal symptoms if the drug is not carefully titrated down.

Ambien is a dangerous drug, and many questions have been asked in regard to its safety. Get more information regarding an Ambien lawsuit. You many also call the Weitz & Luxenberg client relations department at 1 (800) 476-6070, or email us at clientrelations@weitzlux.com.
