CVS Pharmacies. I have checked Meijer, Kroger, Walgreen, and Sam's Club and none make Torrent available.

I have been on ambien since 2001 since ambien first came out so I know what a real ambien feels like. I have taken almost every generic there is out there and on weds I went to pick up my ambien at cvs and again it was teva zolpidem which is worthless I asked if they had any other manufacter that I could order from and she asked the pharmacist and said they have ambien by torrent and I said within myself wow I've read mixed results about this ambien but most from yrs ago on this site and good stuff more recently. Also there is nothing worst then teva ambien then the purple Mylan ambien so I gave it a try and all I can say is thank god I did. It works fast like 20-25 tops where others take 45- 1hr so this is by far the best generic out there and strongest I had 1 weds night ,1.5 last night just to see cuz normally all other ambien I have to take 1.5 to get sleep and the 1.5 torrent ambien was no different then just taking one I just slept longer 8hr+ instead of 7-8 on just one. I definitely recommend it I got mine in Orlando fl. Also remember no food in your stomach for ambien to work I stop eating at 9p take my 300mg seroquel at 1130p, 500mg of magnesium and 5mg of melatonin I then take a nice hot shower and by 1230p I take my ambien and I'm gone in 25mins tops. Also best ambien cr I have found there to be is by winthrop it's a blue 12.5 pills says ZCR I takes 1hr-15mins but remember I've taken ambien since 2001 so it could be less for you to work but when it kicks in your gone so plz wait that long don't take double. Also in regular generic ambien no matter what brand by experience you should not take 20mg because u are guaranteed to sleep walk. If u just ate within the last hr and u cannot wait 3hrs then just take one ambien by torrent but try to give yourself 1hr without food. or 1.5 of other generic ambien will put u to sleep on a full stomach. Also if u just take 1 and are not asleep u have 1hr 5mins tops to include the extra 5mg to sleep because ambien is at its peak at 1.5hr approx. if u wait say 1hr 30mins+ And have not remotely fallen asleep u are starting all over again and need 1.5 pill (15mg) otherwise it won't work. I have tons of tips and tricks just reply here and ask your question. Hope this helps someone out. Sleep well. There is hope.

My problem with Torrent is not that it works, but that it has intense emotional side effects in my body. Brand ambien = warm fuzzies before you fall asleep, Qualitest Ambien = No warm fuzzies but good solid sleep, Torrent = feelings of absolute dread and paranoia and fear before putting me out out a light. Yeah it works but never again. Ive taken Torrent 3 times on 3 different occasions and always same reaction.

LOL Just on the humor tip. I call the peach Torrents Purina haha You ever look at the little checkerboard symbol on one side? It so looks like the 80s Purina logo. Oh and its a fitting name because Torrent makes me cray-cray as Ive mentioned in previous posts. Usually with generic Ambiens they just are flat out weak or dont work. Purina works, but gives me intense feelings of dread and craziness that are weird. Like tangible fear.

Qualitest (a Endo USA owned company does not make Zolpidem 10mg anymore , PAR makes 12.5mg ER ) They were the best generic in the usa you can get but no more :(

Torrent is from India and there junk worthless .

I was on Qualitest forever and yeah it was the best, straight up. But I finally found my equal substitute, after trying like 20 brands. SANDOZ 10. Say it, know it, have your pharmacy order it. The best I've taken, at least on par with Qualitest.

Hey AMillion2Juan - GR8 post! Thx! (Plz excuse my "Text" typing here! I'm a major league "txter" but I'll try 2 keep it straight!)

As a Nurse --- I'd also like to add that if you take a sleep or anxiety or pain med with a fizzy type **no sugar no caffeine** beverage - it helps kick it in. Especially if you've eaten too soon before taking. But it's SO true having an empty stomach helps a lot!

But speaking as a Nurse, if we're going to really help each other here ppl - we need to state these specific things for each other:

*The brand of Ambien (Zolpidem) that worked for you (& what brand did not!) Along with its dose. 5mg? 10mg?
*Our Weight & Height
*Our Gender
*Our Age

These things are important to know. Of course the types/brands & dosages are self explanatory in importance to know --- but our weight/height/age & gender says things about how the meds are (or are NOT) metabolizing correctly.

For example a male thats very thin & tall will metabolize a med much differently than myself -- a 5'6/160lb/47yo/f. My liver is different. It is "fattier". (Most women's livers ARE! Thats why Morphine works better on men - whereas on women Dilaudid for pain does better - bc it gets through our fatty livers much more efficiently. There have been studies. Google it. Some men have fatty livers too of course, but even if they do - then they're usually not as much as ours. their's is usually leaner. And metabolism of BOTH genders change as we age & meds will work differently with different genders at different weights & at different ages.

So come on ppl!! Put your stats out there along with your good & not so good (on you) generic sleep brands!

Generics only have to hit the + or - mark within 20%. That 20% can make a HUUUGE difference for a smaller or larger male or female! And some generics try to stay on the lower end to cut cost; and that's not gonna work for a chubby lil' nurse like me! ;)

So lets be **super specific** folks with brands/doses/weights/ages/& genders when we talk good and rotten generics!

I can guarantee you the Big Pharma Companies the whoooole world over aren't going to tell you ANY specifics, so we **MUST** help ourselves & let each other know every detail we can!

The above poster - AMillion2Juan - gave us all some *fantastic* info! Empty stomach - hot shower - melatonin! Remember to turn lights low so it can work best! (Google that! ;) it's true - Melatonin works optimally in lower light) & speaking of Melatonin, knowing how ppl suffer just to get a good nights sleep, let me say I've personally used "Compounded Modified Release Melatonin". You have to look around for it from a Compounding Pharmacy. My friend got some at a Compounding Pharmacy in Miami Florida for their Modified Release [E-4] 6mg Melatonin. I'm sure you can Google it & find it. Personally, I don't know if you even need an Rx bc it's **melatonin** & I was just given one to try and it was GREAT! I took a 15mg Tranxene (an old OLD school Benzo class med that helps me sleep with regular melatonin. To me it seems smoother/longer in duration than regular Valium, but lighter than Klonopin which gives me major next morning "med-head"!!) So I took it with the Tranxene and BAM! Straight to La-La Land! Never had a melatonin work SO GREAT with an adjunct sleep med! May not have even needed the Tranxene! Some Urologist in Fort Lauderdale called it in for him to help him to sleep & he let me try one. WOW! I'd rather ppl have correct information when it comes to even over the counter meds bc there are just too many shady characters out there that will take advantage of ppl when they are desperate for help!

And the point Juan made about you only having a certain timeframe to take another half if need be is so true! There is a type of super Immediate Release Zolpidem that you put under your tongue if you have trouble waking in the middle of the night. I've taken it occasionally as a "booster" to the "ok working" Zolpidem (Ambien) at the same time I take the "ok working" one - instead of another half.

Juan - u might wanna talk 2ur Doc about trying it instead of cutting 1 in half. But check first if your Insurance covers it. Can't recall the name of it - just Google "Ambien Zolpidem dissolve under tongue for nighttime wakefulness waking up in the middle of the night".

Ok - that said, heres the rest of my story - I also take melatonin about an hr b4 or even with it. If I take it together & lay down in bed to watch tv - then I dim it down super low so its not a bright light. Melatonin is sensitive so juans method of take it then shower is probably best. (Heck - light candles & make it super soothing!) Usually just 3mg does me fine although I can take up to 6mg without the crazy dreams it can give u! I couldn't take but 1mg when I was younger. (Youngsters Beware! Google it!)

So here's my lowdown on Ambien/Zolpidem (& others I've tried).

I am (as stated earlier) a 5'6/160/47yo/f. I have tried the following meds to sleep:
* Mylan Brand Tranxene 15mg
* Mylan Brand Restoril 30mg (15mg might work for you)
* Mylan Brand Zolpidem 10mg
* Teva Brand Zolpidem 10mg
* Torrent Brand Zolpidem 10mg
* All brands with a no sugar no caffeine soda with 3 - 6mg Melatonin in Lowered Light Conditions.

Mylan Tranxene - works fine for me
Mylan Restoril - does also fine for me.
MYLAN ZOLPIDEM* --- does *OK* for me.

The Teva was a horrid waste of money!! I've heard their Klonopin was ok, so maybe their Benzo class of meds is on the level, but their Zolpidem was a sleepless nightmare (for me anyway) & I've read too many other ppl say the same, so I'm done with them for that med! Even with melatonin I may as well have taken an aspirin! It was really bad...

And the Torrent Brand Zolpidem 10mg was SUCH a surprise! I had read mixed reviews on it; but of the 3 - Teva/Mylan/Torrent --- Torrent worked the best for me. Mylan a distant 2nd by comparison. And Teva - well - NEVER AGAIN!

I've heard nothing but praises for one called Gador from South America? Argentina I think? But other than Canada, Germany, Australia - I've never dealt with olines. I have no idea if its even available still. If you can get it to just try it I'd love to hear what you think of it. Seems I read somewhere they tried to cut it out of the pipeline bc it was too far on the "stronger end" of the 20% mark!

I hope if that's the case then the person responsible for cutting it out of our choices comes down with at least a 3 year case of chronic insomnia & feels the desperation of millions of us out here that work so hard just to *consistently* get a good nights sleep!

Hi. I just received Torrent 10mg zolpidem from ExpressScripts as a new generic. I was taking Teva 10mg which I would get monthly from CVS in CA.
I'm a 51yo female, weighing 107lbs.
And have been taking zolpidem for about 5 years.
I was terrified that I wouldn't sleep but to my surprise, the Torrent brand worked better for me than Teva!! I actually slept for 6 1/2 hours straight.

Not anymore they won't... I found that AmerisourceBergen is the distributor to Publix and THEY told me that Publix is no longer allowed to request specific manufacturer's medications. I called Publix Customer Support and was disconnected.
