America's love affair with pills, here comes a new version of Ambien: Intermezzo for interrupted sleep

Ever wake up at 2 or 3 am and can't get back to sleep? Pharma has a pill for that! forget journaling, blogging or watching the news, reruns or late night tv, just take another PILL. Under the tongue Intermezzo is just another version of Ambien the sleep aid that has a sorted history of people sleep walking or becoming psychiatric side effect victims with aggression and violence... but hey, you need that extra 4 hours of sleep, who cares if you have Ambien Sex or become deranged. You'll feel rested, right?

FDA approved Intermezzo (zolpidem tartrate sublingual tablets) for use as needed to treat insomnia characterized by middle-of-the-night waking followed by difficulty returning to sleep Intermezzo today.

"Like other sleep medicines, Intermezzo may cause serious side effects, including getting out of bed while not fully awake and doing an activity that you do not know you are doing or do not remember having done. Reported activities while under the influence of sleep medicines include driving a car, making and eating food, having sex, talking on the phone, and sleep walking—without knowing at the time or remembering later. Chances of such activity increase if a person has consumed alcohol or taken other medicines that make them sleepy.

Intermezzo is a federally controlled substance because it can be abused or lead to dependence.

Intermezzo is made by Transcept Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Port Richmond, Calif."

Thank you, Pharma. Americans are hooked on easy answers in the form of little pills and you know how to work it!
