Have You Used Ambien to Treat Your Sleep Disorders?


From the Food & Drug Administration:


WEITZ & LUXENBERG IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING AMBIEN CASES.

Millions of people in the U.S. have used Ambien to help their sleep disorders. Most adults need at least eight hours of sleep at night to be well rested. Not everyone gets the sleep they need. About 40 million people in the U.S. suffer from sleep problems every year.

Not getting enough sleep for a long periods of time can cause health problems. For example, it can make problems like diabetes and high blood pressure worse.

Many things can disturb your sleep:

  • Working long hours
  • Stress
  • A sick child
  • Light or noise from traffic or TV
  • Feeling too hot or cold
  • Wine, beer, or liquor

    What are the different types of sleep problems?

  • Insomnia
  • Feeling sleepy during the day
  • Snoring
  • Sleep apnea
