Does Zolpidem (10 Mg) Has Side Effects During Night?

Does Zolpidem (10 mg) ever have the side effect of, upon awaking in the dark, having large spots or circles in the eyes, which will disappear upon being in the light, and never happening during the daylight hours? I did quit taking Zolpidem at this time, and have not had the problem with eyes since

Hi.

I understand your concern.

Zolpidam is remedy used for insomnia.

Dark circle or black out is not common side effects. Though there are few cases reported in literature. But most of them occur due to they were taking co current other medicines.

So zolpidam alone does not have such side effect but combination with other medicines may lead to such side effect.

Try alternative medicines for sleep disturbances.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

I hope I have answered your question.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
