Torrent Zolpidem Defective?

Zolpidem Tartrate 10mg possibly defective? I take 1.5 to 2 tabs for me to get a therapeutic effect equivalent to the white generics I used to get from Medco. We used to call it "Buffing."

Looking at the mold marks on the Torrent brand. A square with four dots inside it remind me of Mexican counterfeit tab impressions manufactured in latex or silicone hand pressed molds. The mark is not sharp and clear that I have seen elsewhere. The 10 Mg on the other side of the tab seems well imprinted?

The yellow/orange pigment used in the tab....diluted yellow road paint?

I agree. It felt like it was diluted. Now I ask my doctor for Teva -- never Torrent. It just seems weak somehow.

Torrent Ambien is a scam. I think they dilute it....The company should be investigated...

If you have received it from a licensed U.S. pharmacy there should be no reason to be concerned. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, sleep actions, hallucinations, and next day hangover-like effects.

Has anyone else had issues with this generic from Torrent?

You'd think that, wouldn't you? However, I've learned the fda doesn't test generic drugs... it's simply inn the honor system. I'm also a long time zolpidem user... though not frequently. I usually take 5 to 10mg...I've taken 30mg of Torrent zolpidem with virtually NO effect... 15 10mg zolpidem will generally last me about 2 months... I'm only 3 weeks in to this prescription and have 3 pills left... ??

I also feel that some of the Zoldpiem 10 mg orange tabs have no medication in them. This happens too often with my prescriptions like they are watered down.

Pharmacies and doctors do not believe Torrent Zolpidem is placebo when you get a 90 day supply. People need to send letters to the FDA and report this. I did. This drug needs to be taken off the list for narcotics. Ever since they cut patients off narcotics they order them Gabapentin for pain. This drug has too many side effects. The doctors are making their patients sick. As far as I am concerned people are buying drugs off street and dying from fentanyl because the doctors are afraid to order the narcotic medications. It’s not our fault that cartels used doctors to help them get drugs and the pharmacies never caught it. So people are paying for doctors and pharmacies doing this and now we can not get the proper medications we need.

Walgreens now has Zolpidem by Aurobindo. This manufacturer works really well. The Torrent sucks. Next time you get a prescription filled ask for Aurobindo. Best sleep I ever got on this brand.

Re: Verwon (# 3)

Yes!!!! 10 mg would equal 8-10 hrs sleep. Now the peach coated ambien by torrent pharmacy-- I get 3-4 hrs sleep if I'm lucky.
