Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic.
Short term use of zolpidem lead to no side effects.
Its long term use can lead to myalgia, muscle ache, dyspepsia, vomiting etc.
So your muscle pain might be because of it.
But it will not lead to constipation.
It is better to stop zolpidem and life style modification done first to achieve sleep like doing exercise, milk at night, go to bed early before 12 etc.
Zolpidem use for relieving short term insomnia.
I hope you understand my concern
