Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

Ambien contains zolpidem and some time, it causes tingling sensation, headache, nausea, vomiting as side effects. There is nothing to worry about it. This would improve in few hours as half life of zolpidem is 2 to 3 hours, so just relax and wait.

In case, you have more query, you can ask.
