Most of the benzodiazepines are probably not the best choice for Parkinson’s patients. Fortunately, Ambien is a non-benzodiazepine although it works in the same way by enhancing th actions of the neurotransmitter GABA which in turn inhibits transmission of nerve signals. The non-benzodiazapine class to which Ambien (Zolipidem) belongs is a bit more specific in its inhibitory actions which is why it might be “safer.”
