Zolpidem
Basic Information
Summary
Commonly prescribed for insomnia, Ambien (zolpidem) can cause realistic hallucinations similar to those of deliriants, and is very likely to cause amnesia at higher doses. Take care when using this drug, as it tends to lower inhibitions to a level which causes the user to do things they might not normally do when sober.
Depressant
Depressants are drugs which reduce arousal and stimulation in the user, characterised by a depressing of mental and physical functions.
