Zolpidem & Eye Problems (Top voted first)

Updated

My eyes have become very sensitive to light and feel watery and irritated most of the time now. I have been taking zolpidem off and on for a few months. Sometimes I cut the 10 mg pill into 2, but when I do this I wake up after a few hours. Is there any connection in using Zolpidem and eye problems? I see an opthomologist regularly and this wasn't a problem at my last visit several months ago. Is there any connection with zolpidem and eye sight? .

Hello, Glorya14! How are you?

Yes, Zolpidem has been known to cause some visual disturbances/problems as side effects.

Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to switch to a different medication.

I made another appt with my eye dr this week. When I last saw him, I didn't have this problem so it wasn't addressed. I will write back after see the eye dr.

Several months ago after using zolpidem for some time, my internist switched me to Rozerem. Yikes, that was a bad mistake. Headaches and general misery. I had to have the dr switch me back to zolpidem.

Zolpidem is the most fake pill I have ever experienced. The 10 mg was supposed to help me find long needed sleep. I woke at 3 am and could not get back to sleep.
I took a second pill and layed awake till early morning. This was my first experience
with this type of sleeping meds. I am very sad for this so called sleeping pill.
cheers
