If you are considering stopping Ambien, make sure to talk to your healthcare provider. In most cases, if withdrawal from Ambien occurs, symptoms are usually minor and improve with time, without the need for any treatment. However, for more severe cases, your doctor may return you to the original Ambien dosage and then wean you off the medicine slowly.
