Zolpidem Sleep Medication

Updated

Is there another medication stronger than 10 mg zolpidem? Lately, zolpidem hasn't been putting me asleep with one pill. I've been doing 3 a night... which makes me run out of the prescription before the 30 day time-frame! I haven't had a chance to talk with my doctor yet but I will. Any suggestions?

Try a different brand of generic. Some are notoriously weak. Which brand are you taking now?

This medication is really only intended for the short term treatment of insomnia, not for long term use. How long have you been taking it?

The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, sleep actions, hallucinations, and next day hangover-like effects.

What other medications have you tried? Taking 3 of them can be very dangerous.

Hey guys, Sleepless in Oklahoma here. I have been taking Ambien CR 12.5 mg. for years now. Always did great with the brand, then my pharmacy started switching from the first one, then another generic. Have recently dispensed the Lupin Ambien CR 12.5 and it is worthless for me. I am spending night after night of sleepless nights. I get up in the a.m. and feel worthless, in fact rather depressed. Also noticed that I have been sleep eating on this generic and never did this before. My restless leg syndrome is out of control with this new generic.
