ABSTRACT
Zolpidem is a widely used hypnotic. Dependence on zolpidem due to the induction of euphoria is a rare condition, while intranasal misuse of zolpidem is a rather new phenomenon. We present the first case of a patient who developed zolpidem dependence, which was associated with the prompt onset of euphoria exclusively following intranasal use. Mr. A was a 51-year-old polydrug abuser with antisocial personality disorder and a physical dependence on zolpidem. Over several years, he consumed 500 mg of the drug daily, usually divided into 30 mg doses, exclusively via the nasal route because unlike the oral administration of the same dose of the drug, intranasal administration induced euphoria. Euphoric effects manifested 3-5 minutes after taking the drug, and pronounced withdrawal symptoms (i.e., profuse sweating, tremors, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and inability to drink and eat), present 7-8 hours after the use could disappear within 3-5 minutes upon drug re-administration. The dependence was managed through a slow tapering of the zolpidem use. Clinicians should be aware that intranasal use of zolpidem could be associated with euphoric effects and the development of addiction. The potential for misuse of zolpidem via the nasal route may be of interest for future research.
