Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Imidazopyridine with benzodiazepine-like hypnotic effect.Used for insomnia. Five nursing mothers who took twice the usual dose excreted it into breast milk in a clinically non-significant amount. It is recommended to follow-up sedation or lack of appetite in the infant. The American Academy of Pediatrics states it is usually compatible with breastfeeding medication.

I noticed I was not as happy as I normally am. In addition I would wake up multiple times during the night thirsty. On top I was answering emails, sending texts and sleeping in other rooms of the house. My dreams were very scary and seemed real. Once I dreamt somebody was breaking into the house and I called 911. I donâ??t remember making the call at all and had to apologize to the police when they showed up. This is NOT the medication for me

This works great! But like it says, make sure you take it right before you go to bed. Kicks in fast!

I was on Ambien CR for several years. Due to Medicare, I was put on Zolpidem (5 mg). Everything was fine for a while. About 1 month ago developed severe hives. Two nights ago woke up with rapid heart rate. Needed to take Benedryl. Also got hives from Valarian root for the first time ever. Will go back and retry Belsomra. Am so upset. Even tried 2 different generics thinking it was due to the purple coating.
