Does Ambien Have Any Side Effects?
Thank you. I have been taking Ambien every night since 1999. On February 22, I stopped. I do not know if coincidental or not (I am still working in stressful situation), but my skin itches. Mainly lower back and abdomen. Is this is withdrawal side effect? Otherwise all is good.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Ambien is zolpidem
Following are the effects of ambien withdrawal:
Agitation and irritability
High blood pressure
Fever
Sweating
Shakiness
Stomach cramps
Insomnia
Nervousness
Convulsions
Nausea and vomiting
Panic attacks
But itching not occur
So it may be other reason
You can contact your doctor
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
