Hi, I have severe sleeping problem and I mostly use zolpidem 10mg to fall asleep. What do you suggest as I feel that this pill is making my thinking slower and also making me absent minded. A very important exam is coming in the next 1 month, so can I continue taking zolpidem for these many days because if I don t take it, night is horrible with very depressing thoughts, pessimistic and scary future scenes. Will zolpidem affect the sharpness of my mind and as a result the performance on the exam? Please help. Thanks. Rohit.
