Can I take Stilnox (Zolpidem) 10mg every night?

Stilnox (Zolpidem) 10mg is designed for short-term use, normally not more than 7 to 14 nights in a row. Taking it each night time for an extended length may additionally result in tolerance, dependence, or withdrawal signs and symptoms when stopping. When taken every night over a prolonged period, your body may get used to the effects, meaning it might no longer work as well (this is called tolerance). Also, your brain may start to rely on the medicine to fall asleep, making it hard to sleep naturally without it. In some cases, stopping suddenly after long-term use can lead to rebound insomnia or other withdrawal effects.
