@Chuck,

When you switch brand names or manufacturers the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it.

Certain "inactive" ingredients which may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body.

So it is possible that you may respond favorably with one medication and not the other (even if they are the same active ingredient). This can be attributed mostly to how these binders/fillers make you feel or whatever side effects they might carry.

I hope this info helps! Have you tried asking your doctor for a different brand?

To add an additional note, since many people aren't aware of this information, but there can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient in generic medications.

The FDA does allow them to differ, under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient that was in the original name brand.

In reality, this is a negligible difference, in many cases it doesn't even add up to an entire milligram of the dosage being off.

However, some people are very sensitive to medications and any slight fluctuation may cause them problems.

Other problems can occur, if for instance the one the person was used to taking was a little high in the active ingredient and they are suddenly switch to one that's a little low in it, because it may be too much of a difference for it to work effectively for them.

And, as a final note, all of this may be irrelevant and it could simply be due to Chuck's body having developed a tolerance to the current dosage he is taking. He may need to raise the dose, if possible and physician approved, or to switch to a different medication.

Chuck, have you ever tried the Ambien CR? That may also help you a lot more.
