My Teva Zolpidem 10mg Does Not Work. I Sleep 3 Hours

Updated

I have been taking zolpidem 10mg for many years and all was perfect. Now i changed pharmacies and it's 10mg of Teva with the # 74 on it and I am up in 3 hours and cannot get back to sleep.

Try zolfresh 5 mg. I get sleep with this for more than 5 hours. It is also suggested to get a Dr.'s advice.

Hello, Sharon! How are you?

First, Zolpidem can help someone fall asleep, but it doesn't mean they will always stay asleep, which is why the time released version was created under brand name Ambien CR, according to the NIH.

Second, if you've been taking it for years, you may have built up tolerance to it, which can prevent it from working as well for you. The FDA explains that we eventually get used to any medication that we take regularly for a long period of time, and we will end up requiring a dosage adjustment, or having to try a different medication.

As to Zolfresh, which Menon mentioned, that is a drug from India that is not available in the U.S.

Have you consulted your doctor? It might be time for you try something different.

My pharmacy switched to Teva generic zolpidem and a 10 mg dose will give you 3 hrs of sleep.
The Teva version of zolpidem is useless.
