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.

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.
