Sleepwalking Induced by the Extended-release Zolpidem under Polypharmacy Treatment
Yi-Jui Wang, Chi-Hua Yu
Under substance/medication-induced sleep
disorder in the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)
[1], zolpidem-induced sleepwalking has been
well-recognized [2, 3]. But its occurrences in ex-
tended-release (ER) formulation are seldom re-
ported. Here we present a case of sleepwalking
that occurred with adding daily 6.25 mg ER zolpi-
dem in a young male patient with schizophrenia
under the treatment of polypharmacy.
