[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks so much everyone for your thoughtful replies! I have considered each one and they help me to ease my mind a bit.

I noticed that some websites were listing Ambien as a class b drug (FDA moved all sleep aides to class c recently however). But why would something like Ambien ever be class b in the first place? I can't seem to find an answer to that...

I suppose what worries me is that Ambien is so similar to the benzos, and these are all class d drugs. I am having a hard time finding any studies that follow children long term that were exposed to benzos though in utero and I am worried about developmental disabilities.  That's why I'm posting here, trying to resort to any personal, anecdotal evidence anyone reading this may have.

To the pp on Topamax, thanks for sharing your story!  Topamax acts in part on the GABA receptors, as does Ambien; not that your positive outcome guarantees anything for anyone else though! It is encouraging to read none-the-less. [/quote]

Ambien isn't a benzo. It may achieve something similar, but it does it through a different mechanism that has been found safer in pregnancy. [/quote]
