Dependence on zolpidem
- Psychiatrická léčebna Dobřany, interní oddělení
In this case report I am presenting a case of zolpidem dependent patient who was repeatedly hospitalised in psychiatric hospital. As
such, there is an increase in number of zolpidem dependent patients. We have limited experience with the treatment of withdrawal
syndrome and with the long term treatment of such patients. Therefore in my article I would like to draw attention towards the risk of
zolpidem dependence and raise the interest upon this problem.
Keywords: zolpidem, dependence, withdrawal syndrome.
