Doses and duration of treatment are determined by the physician. You should
strictly adhere to the instructions of the doctor and not exceed the prescribed
dose of Ambien.
The maximum daily dose for adults is 10 mg before sleep. For elderly (aged
over 65) and immune-compromised patients, as well as those with liver failure,
the initial dose is 5 mg; in case of necessity (insufficient clinical effect)
and good tolerance, the drug dose can be increased to 10 mg, order Ambien online.
The treatment course must not exceed 4 weeks. The recommended treatment
course for transient insomnia is 2–5 days, and for situational insomnia- 2–3
weeks. Short treatment periods don’t require the gradual drug withdrawal.
In case of the long-term use of the drug, zolpidem withdrawal must be carried
out gradually to reduce the risk of developing rebound insomnia (start with
reducing the daily dose and then discontinue the drug), Buy Ambien online Cash on delivery.

Overdose
In case of accidental Ambien overdose, seek medical attention
immediately.
The symptoms are mainly due to CNS depression: impaired consciousness- from
mild (confusion and lethargy) to severe (up to coma) forms, ataxia, low blood
pressure and life-threatening respiratory depression.
Treatment: if there has been less than an hour after taking an excessive dose
and the patient is awake, he/she should try to induce vomiting. If it’s
impossible to induce vomiting or if the patient is unconscious, gastric lavage
is recommended.
If there has been over an hour after an accidental or deliberate drug
overdose, the patient should be given activated carbon by mouth or by gavage (if
unconscious) to reduce the absorption of zolpidem. In case of overdose,
symptomatic therapy (in hospital settings) is carried out, aimed at maintaining
the basic body functions, in particular the functions of respiratory and
cardiovascular systems.
Sedatives shouldn’t be taken after zolpidem overdose, even in case of
agitation.
In case of severe overdose, you should consider the introduction of
flumazenil for differential diagnosis and/or treatment (benzodiazepine
antagonists) in hospital settings; however, it should be remembered that the
suppression of benzodiazepine receptors can cause neurological disorders
(seizures), especially in patients with epilepsy.
