Reaction To Pink Coloring/coating?

Updated

I have been using Ambien for 10 years, but only when I travel, as I have difficulty sleeping in hotel rooms. I am sensitive to many common chemicals and the hotel room cocktail prevents natural sleep. I usualy break a 10mg pill into half or even thirds and that's enough for me. I have never had any grogginess the next day. This year, I tried the new generic Ambien on two business trips and I was completely whacked out; 5 mg was enough to make me groggy all day, and it was cumulative. It was terrible. After 5 days, I could hardly talk. So my doc switched me back to regular Ambien, but 5 mg tabs ... which are pink just like the generic. On a trip this week, I took my last regular white Ambien the first night and I was in great shape. I took the pink Ambien the next night and I was a mess the next day. It affected me exactly like the generic one. So ... maybe it's not the drug itself but something inert in the dye or coating. Wonder if anyone else has any similar experience.
