Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ambien (also known as zolpidem) is a commonly prescribed non-benzodiazepine medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It works by enhancing the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that slows down brain activity, helping people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. BuSpar is not typically used for the treatment of insomnia, codeine is an opioid pain medication, and beta-endorphin is a natural peptide in the body involved in pain management and mood regulation.
