Sleep Aid Overview

A hypnotic (from Greek Hypnos, sleep), also known as a somnifacient or soporific, and commonly known as sleeping pills, are a class of psychoactive drugs whose primary function is to induce sleep and to treat insomnia (sleeplessness). Some hypnotics are also used to treat narcolepsy and hypersomnia by improving sleep at night and thereby reducing daytime sleepiness. Certain hypnotics can be used to treat non-restorative sleep and associated symptoms in conditions like fibromyalgia as well. Th...

Aurobindo vs Torrent Zolipidem

How does Aurobindo Zolpidem differ from the Torrent Zolpidem? ## It is my personal opinion that Torrent works much better, I've been taking zolpidem for many many years so I consider myself an expert of sorts. When they give me the Aurobindo brand sometimes it doesn't work at all. ## They are just manufactured by different companies. Some people notice a difference, like John said, but most people don't. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, severe sedation, hallucinations, lucid dreaming, and sleep actions. Ref: Medline Plus Can anyone else chime in with their experiences? ## YES! Made my insomnia so much worse. ## I agree. Aurobindo sucks. It often doesn't cause me to sleep and when I do sleep, even if the Aurobindo...

What Is The Difference Between Zolpidem 10mg Tev Vs 10 Mg Qua

what is the difference between zolpidem 10mg tab TEV verses zolpidem 10 mg QUA ## Only the company that has manufactured it, TEV stands for TEVA Pharmaceuticals and QUA stands for Qualitest. The dosage and medication, however, is the same, they both contain 10mgs of Zolpidem as the active ingredient, a generic for Ambien. Common side effects may inlude: nausea, drowsiness, hallucinations and short-term memory loss. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments? ## They may sound the same, but they are certainly NOT the same. My pharmacy has been trying to give me substitutions every month for about 6 months now. Most do not work on me. They have tried to pawn off purple ones, yellow ones, different white ones, etc. If you are lucky, they all may work for you. But not for me. The Torre...

Zopiclone 7.5mg blue without markings

I got zopiclone 7.5mg. They are packaged in strips stating zop 7.5mg. The tabs are round, blue, scored on one side, with no markings. They do work, but i'm a bit concerned as to whether or not they are safe. Can anyone enlighten me on this one? ## If they are Hab pharmaceutical ones from India they are the weakest of any zopiclone and believe me ive tried well over 15 brands! The confusing thing is when you look at their website the tablets are rugby shaped not round an saucer-like? I have a feeling they are not legitimate!!!! ## I brought zopiclone 7,5mg the blue round from India, are these safe and can I cut them down ## Hab zopiclone are fine... Not rugby shaped at all. Mine are round, blue and have a groove on one side. ## I got the same there from india, I been taking them, bec...

As to what they look like, there are many generics on the market and they all have different imprints, so I cannot possibly list a description of all of them with their imprints. However, if you post back with the markings from the tablet in questions, I will gladly check for you to see what it is. ## white pill small oblong on side says 93 other says58 ## Are ther any purple colored zolpidem tartrate 10mg pills?

zolpidem 10 mg what color is the pill

I need to know if any of them are dark orange ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? Zolpidem is available in many colors, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable it to be identified. Can you please post back with this information? Thanks! The FDA classifies Zolpidem as a sedative hypnotic that is most commonly used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may include nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, funny taste in mouth, sleep actions, hallucinations and next day hangover-like effects. ## I've been taking it for many years like 20 years and I went from 5 MG to 10 MG & simple sleep over the counter and to trazodone . I was taking 2 10 mg. Now I'm to 2 Zanax. 1 mg 2 benadryl and ...

What Color Is Temazepam 15 Mg

I am prescribed 15mg capsules. I got a refill and the tablets are pink - MFG MYLAN My former rx was white/green MFG GENEVA Are these the same pills? ## Well, it's difficult to confirm what they are, since you didn't provide any markings. There are 15mg Temazepam products manufactured by both companies and it is very common for a pharmacy to switch, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, at the time they had to restock their supply. The 15mg from Mylan should be an orange/pink colored capsule with the markings MYLAN 4010 on each half. Does this match the ones you received? ## Yes it did. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! ## What do they look like in a capsule 750mg inside of the pill ## pink/white are usually 7.5mg. Blue/White are 15mg. It usually states it on the capsule. Ask th...

Zolpidem 1mg Aurobindo and leg pain

Anyone experiencing leg pain from this drug? After a few hours of being up it's better. I wonder if its the manufacturer that can cause it. I'm really trying to get off and I only take it occasionally. ## Interesting. I've been on lorazapam for 30 plus years and never had an issue. They keep changing manufacturers. I'm currently on teva, and I've had teva for or at least a year or so I guess and I'm now having leg pain. And have no idea what's causing it. I don't know whether it's one of the side effects or not. I'm thinking because I haven't been as active. I had to have skin cancer surgery on my leg. And I was laid up for like, 6 weeks, and I'm not out being as active. I need to get out and walk every day. Cant gokf for a while And maybe...

Torrent Pharmaceutical Zolpidem

I had this 10 mg from torrent and the pharmacy could not supply a refill. I do not like the substitute mfg. How can I get torrent zolpidem? ## Have you tried asking your pharmacy if they can order it in for you? This is a generic for Ambien and the one that a pharmacy carries can change, at any given time, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they had to restock their supply. This is how the keep the price as low as possible for customers that don't have insurance. ## Torrent is a Co. from India By local,hell I'd rather be broke n at least know that my $$ was still in Country Semper Fi' ## Recieved RX of 30 tabs Some are Peach-Yellow in color Others are white in color. Isn't that odd? Should they be 2 different colors in the same order? The inmprint on ...

Zolpidem Generic

ALL CVS pharmacies just changed the zolpidem from MYLAN manufacturer (out of PA) to TORRENT in India. Because generics can certain behave differently, I am nervous about taking the (10 mg) oblong peach Torrent brand one after reading some things online. I also don't like the idea of CVS using from out of the country manufacturer which HAS to be due to a better price because MYLAN brand is still very readily available. Any comments? ## The country doesn't matter, as long as the manufacturer has approval from the FDA for their products to be sold in the U.S., CVS or any other pharmacy, can stock their products. There can be some differences in generic medications, however, this usually doesn't affect the greater number of the people that take it. If you are aware of how it nor...
