side effects and withdrawal symptoms
AMBIEN is a short-acting hypnotic that binds to the same receptors as a benzodiazepine and is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia. Its hypnotic effects are similar to benzodiazepines, but it is considered a class of sedative drugs called imidazopryidines.
AMBIEN binds to GABA receptors and can cause amnesia, delusions, altered thought patterns and impaired judgment. Reports have linked episodes of sleepwalking and related strange and dangerous behavior to AMBIEN. An analysis of the controlled clinical trials, showed little difference between AMBIEN and benzodiazepines in terms of sleep onset or duration, quality of sleep, adverse effects, tolerance, rebound insomnia, daytime alertness or physical dependence.
Some studies show that AMBIEN may alter the sleep architecture in the same way that benzodiazepines do - by reducing the amounts of restorative Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and increasing the non-restorative sleep patterns. This can result in daytime drowsiness and poor cognitive function. Therefore only short-term use of AMBIEN is recommended and discontinuation should be done in a gradual dose reduction.
AMBIEN, like other drugs, deplete the body of essential vitamins, minerals, as well as Glutathione (the body’s master antioxidant). Glutathione is essential for a healthy immune system and the detoxification process. Low Glutathione levels are associated with immune and liver dysfunction, cardiac disease and premature aging.
This may explain why prolonged use of benzodiazepines can severely compromise our health. Dr. Jimmy Gutman describes Glutathione as “Food for the Immune System.” Replenishing the body of critical Glutathione levels not only helps to improve immune function, but also allows the body to detoxify naturally.
The POINT OF RETURN Withdrawal Program was specifically developed to address the extensive depletion caused by AMBIEN, while also providing support to the body and brain during the withdrawal process.

Label Me Sane's POINT OF RETURN Products have revolutionized my health,
which had been compromised for years due in part to the use of prescription
sleep aids. After several months of using the POINT OF RETURN program I have
never felt better, and I am sleeping without the use of medication for the
first time in years. Not only have I experienced great success with these
products, I have recommended them to many who have had the same results. I
highly recommend the entire line!! - Pastor Stephen
