Zolpidem is a prescription drug used primarily in the treatment of insomnia. It is somewhat infamous for causing, in some patients, the side effects of somnambulism (sleepwalking), binge eating in one's sleep, somniloquy (sleeptalking), and performing daily tasks while still asleep. Zolpidem can cause seizures in high doses, or if terminated abruptly after long-term use.

Some youth abuse of zolpidem exists, and is generally becoming more widespread. The side effect profile shows why -- hallucinations, euphoria, and extroversion, combined with the fact that it's possible to gain a tolerance to some of the negative side effects quickly and still gain the euphoria and hallucinations. Abusers will also mix zolpidem with other substances (such as alcohol or marijuana) to intensify the effects.
