The FDA has labeled Ambien and other sleep medications with a “black box” warning, which is the strongest listed by the agency.

In a news release on April 30, the agency warned of “sleepwalking, sleep driving, and engaging in other activities while not fully awake,” which have resulted in deaths and injuries.
