Ambien

Though Ambien is not addictive when used as directed, one can easily develop a dependence on the drug if used regularly for an elongated period of time. If a person takes more than is prescribed on a normal basis, he or she will likely develop a tolerance for the drug. When a person develops a tolerance for a drug, he or she needs more of the drug to achieve the desired effects. Therefore, constant abuse can cause Ambien to become an addictive drug. Besides, sometimes some people use Ambien for opiate withdrawal, so there are many reasons to take the drug and a high risk of overdose.
