Why you should not take a High dose of Ambien
Insomnia is not a joke to ignore because it is a state of mind. A person may feel disturbed in the morning and ruin the peaceful nights. To fix insomnia, many people tend to use “Ambien high” doses on a very regular basis.
In my opinion, Insomnia should only follow the prescriptions because it can drive adverse effects on the body. Therefore, a high dosage of zolpidem is restricted among all ages.
Before making any conclusion, you need to understand the reason behind its limited usages.
-
High dose of Ambien activities in the brain
If you take a single pill of Ambien, it directs acts in the chemical messages of brains named as GABA. With 30mints of intake, your brain feels calm, relaxed, and lets you sleep for more than 7 hours.
Because it provides proper sleep, that means Zolpidem works longer for 8-9 hours. Thus, it is advisable only to take medicine at night because you may feel hallucinated or dizzy in the mornings.
In conclusion, taking a high dose of Ambien can cause brain damage, GABA malfunctioning, and seizures at any age.

The drug class of Ambien (Zolpidem)
Ambien drug belongs to the Sedative-hypnotic drug class. It helps to induce sedation by reducing irritability because it acts in the central nervous system.
Also, Insomnia can be called as tranquilizers because you feel sleepy like a tranquilizer shot given to a patient before the operation. Hence, many times people misuse Ambien because of its drug class and get a euphoric feeling.

Side-effects of Ambien
A single dose of Ambien can lead to many side-effects in the brain and body, such as:
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Stomach pain
- Dry mouth
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Cramps sometimes and more
These symptoms are acceptable if you take Insomnia for limited use or last up to 2 weeks. Because beyond two-week consumption, it may lead to severe side-effects and addiction.
Ambien has a high chance of addiction and misuse. As a sedative-hypnotic drug class with a z-drug chemical compound.
-
Addiction due to high dose of Ambien
Yes, you read it right. Doctors provide low doses to the patients on initial days. If you have acute insomnia, then you can get Ambien for limited use.
However, if insomnia lasts up to a month, then Ambien’s use may lead to addiction. To reduce the risk of addiction, you can switch to other medicine, which should not be sedative-hypnotic.
Although, if you don’t want to switch to other medication, you can include some non-medical solutions.
Non-medical solutions are the best yet very complex to follow. You can pursue yoga, meditation, and moderate exercise with Ambien
Conclusion
Insomnia has benefits and positive outcomes. But, Insomnia can be addictive after a use lasts up to 1 week because of its sedative drug class.
Although zolpidem is primarily used to cure insomnia, you need to follow some other precautions as well. Above mentioned conditions explained why doctors do not prescribe a high dose of Ambien for more than a week or two weeks.
Therefore, we need to keep these points in mind before making any voluntary decision.
