   Zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclon are three somewhat similiar drugs.   
   Zaleplon is worst of these as a medicine and worst of these as a   
   recreational drug.   
      
   Zaleplon was tested in Finland and it was soon taken away from the   
   pharmacys - it's not sold here anymore. All of these drugs cause   
   hallucinations when taken enough (I've had hallucinations from 10mg's   
   of zolpidem), but zaleplon was found to be worst of these - way mor   
   hallucinations with just medicinal doses than other two drugs. Yet   
   it's also the most unpleasant of these three, making it also the worst   
   as a recreational drug.   
      
   As for the pharmacology - there was some other reply to you. I'll let   
   others explain that side :)
