It is nowhere near as abused as the aforementioned drugs either. The main side effects you may notice at first are feeling tired the next day, feeling dizzy or a headache. People have also reported sleep walking or even sleep eating or driving while taking this type of drug, but that's relatively rare. You shouldn't have any trouble getting a prescription for it if you talk to your MD. Ambien CR is not available in a generic and may cost you quite a bit, but plain Ambien (zolpidem) comes in generic and would save you quite a bit if that's an issue.
