I have my exams on 29th november (cat), yesterday I could not fall asleep whole night, is it due to taking zolpidem for 10-15 days, as I had not taken it yesterday. If I don't take it for next two -three days, will it be problematic?

Dear lybrate-user, yes it will be because by now your brain is accustomed to this drug, by the way who prescibed this drug to you was it a psychiatrist or did you self medicate, another thing you have not mentioned the dose of zolpidem that you are taking so that if high it might be tapered down to suit your exam needs. Therefore you must consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. Yours sincerely.
