My ambien is now purple. Why? Where does it come from (country, manufacturer, etc?) Why does the pill color keep changing?
I have been taking this drug off/on for 3 or 4 years. It has changed (in the generic form) 3 or 4 times. Not sure why, and I don't know if the "non" generic changes. But they always work the same.
It's made by Mylan labs, however I can't find anyplace to get it anymore, where are you getting it.
Yes, the tablet with the MZ2 marking is a 10mg Zolpidem tablet that's made in the U.S. by Mylan Pharmaceuticals.
What I'd like to clear up, however, is that the color, markings and manufacturer actually don't matter, as long as you're receiving the same medication in the same dosage. If you're getting them from a licensed, U.S. pharmacy than they are all approved and proven to be therapeutically equivalent.
The reason you sometimes receive a different one from a different manufacturer is because when it comes to generics, the pharmacy will usually stock whichever one they got for the cheapest price, at the time they needed to restock their supply. This is how they keep prices down for their customers without insurance that have to pay cash.
And if you prefer the one from a specific manufacturer, you can ask at your pharmacy and see if they can order it in for you. They will usually do so for their regular customers, though you may need to pay any price difference.
Are there any comments or questions?
It seems to me that the purple ones(which i have just gotten instead of the white oblong ones)are not an instant release-they seem to have a coating and are kind of annoying since they are not as easy to break in half. Is this a possibility? I haven't decided yet if I like them.
K-Mart sales this bran and it works fine
I have been taking Zolpidem for several years. For the last year I take it every day. I fill my medication at WalMart and Costco. Costco is the Mylan brand. I don't know who makes WalMarts'. Here's my problem. I can't prove this, but I have had dozens of these experiences. I think, the WalMart brand pills are NOT consistent in strength. Sometimes the WalMart's are so strong I'm up sleepwalking and hallucinating for a couple of hours. One night I wandered around my neighborhood in my sox and underware. I thought I was in a different city and I was going to walk home. When I made it back to my house, I made a sandwich and went to bed. The next morning the front door was open and tuna fish all over my kitchen. This never happens with the Costco brand. Sometimes I take a Walmart pill and I'm still up 3 hours later. No effect. This has happened over and over. The only time I take a Walmart pill is when I'm out of the other. But in the past, I usually just hallucinate for half an hour and then go to sleep. My television is a window with someone talking to me through the window. Does anyone else experience too strong, or too weak pills?
ROB.......This is a common side effect of zolpidem. It causes extreme amnesia. I used to get up at night and drive, cook a full meal and make a mess in my kitchen. Didnt know I was doing it until finding the mess in the morning. Got so bad I had to stop the zolpidem. .ashamed because its a great sleeper. Be careful though there is a chance you can forget you took it and take it again, this is very dangerous especially if your drinking because it sedates you so much you go to bed and stop breathing. there have been numerous deaths because of this.
Hehe I always giggle when I read about the Ambien cooking incidents. Those are my favorite ones. Ive woken up with a spoon next to me and three empty ben and jerrys pints downstairs on the counter haphazedly. I've driven to the grocery store once, picked up a pizza, came home baked it, ate the whole thing and woke up with some crust left the next morning. LOL I don't think its particularly dangerous or anything, infact in doing a pretty reasoned analysis over my past incidents Ive come to the conclusion that I do all of those things subconsciously most times better than I would in real life if I wanted to hahah The part of our brains that do stuff still do em fine.

Right..... Round purple is from Mylan and works about the same as a teaspoon of water. Truthfully, it's the same as flushing your money down the toilet. Look elsewhere for relief.
