Ambien is a strange drug... in some ways it is related to the benzos...and those drugs can cause paresthesias as they wear off.

I don't know what Ambien's status is therefore in regards to PN.

This is a nice chart explaining chemo damage to nerves:

This is a copy of a post v5118lKftfk (Natalie) found for us explaining at which point of the neurons the various chemo agents cause damage.

For CIPNers,

Here is an easy to under pictorial of how different types of chemo attacks different parts of the nerve pathway ( as much as they know), that may be useful to some:

For those of us on taxanes, or combination therapies, it impacts about every aspect of the pathway.

I had a few different top oncologists, and I found it discouraging when they all starting asking me questions like "how is Diabetic PN different from Chemo PN?" and to send them studies and info I come across to help them learn.
