Although the commercials try to give another image this drug does not look
like
a benzodiazepine (minor tranquillizer) but it works with a subgroup of the
receptors to benzodiazepines. There are no good statistics about addiction
to zolpidem but I think it should be handled with the same care as diazepam
until anything else is proven.

And in fact this is recognized by statute, since in the US, the drug
was introduced as a controlled substance in C-IV, just like its relatives
the benzodiazepines.
