초록

졸피뎀은 벤조디아제핀 계열의 약물에 비해서, 비교적 남용가능성이 적은 안전한 수면제로서 많이 처방되고 있는 실정이지만 국내에서는 전문의약품으로 분류되어 만성적인 과량 복용이 현실적으로 쉽지 않아 임상의들의 관심이 적은 편이다. 그러나 본 증례와 같이 고용량을 장기간 사용할 경우의존성과 금단 증상을 유발할 수 있으며, 그 치료방법에 대한임상적인 경험도 축적되지 않은 편이다. 따라서 그 진단과 치료에 있어서 임상의들의 세심한 주의가 필요하다고 하겠다.

Abstract

Zolpidem is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic for the treatment of insomnia, and known as a relatively-safe medication. However, there have been several case reports of zolpidem abuse aand dependence these days. Even though some withdrawal symptoms like seizures can occur, there has not been any standard detoxification method until now. A high dose of zolpidem has similar pharmacological properties as the rest of the benzodiazepines, even though the usual dose of zolpidem has a selectivity to the type 1 benzodiazepine receptors. We report a rare case of high-dose addiction and successful detoxification by cross-titration with diazepam.
