Zolpidem belongs to the class of non-benzodiazepine hypnoinducers. Although it has a good safety profile, it has the potential for abuse and due to improper use in high doses it induces addiction and withdrawal syndrome. The literature cites cases of disorders associated with addictive behavior, intentional or accidental overdoses with zolpidem. In this review we presented the effects of misuse of zolpidem, the most relevant cases of misuse of zolpidem presented by the literature, as well as cases of acute intoxication with zolpidem presented by the literature, resulting in both the death and survival.
