what is the difference between zolpidem 10mg tab TEV verses zolpidem 10 mg QUA

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 Torrent -manufacturer and Distributor - Qualitest are the best for ME. They are oblong white with the imprint "V" on one side and 6469 on the other.

Rosemarys post is just proof we must process pills diffefently. Because Teva to me is absolute garbage and does NOTHING, while Qualitest 10 has become my staple go to by choice because Im stuck with Generic Ambien. Now all the generics are generally garbage compared to brand when it comes to Zolpidem, but Qualitest is competent enough of a bunch of bad options. My stupid insurance completely removed brand Ambien even from the highest co pay tier. Bastards LOL Qualitest is ok. Id avoid the Indian brands like Torrent like the plague. Ive tried em all in trial and error.

I'm not sure this addresses ur question but it may b helpful. Ive noticed that the round generics knock me out and I'm hungover wen i wake, but the long skinny ones are way better. For a cpl hours after I take one, I'm incredibly relaxed, in a good mood, maybe even feel a little high, then I usually get ambien munchies then fall asleep. Walgreens has the rounds CVS has the Skinnies. Maybe ur local CVS and Walgreens have the same. Hope this helps someone out there.

I've recently moved and changed pharmacy's. My old pharmacy used the Qualtist, the new pharmacy uses the Teva. I DO NOT LIKE the Teva, I have never done anything funky in 6 years with the Qual, but twice now I've slept walked, once towards the garage!
I am glad I found this page, I will be asking the new pharmacy for the qua, or switch pharmacy's!
BTW I also liked that the Quad could easily be split in half if I thought I needed less or had taken a pain killer too.

While the active ingredients are the same in all generic forms of Ambien, people react very differently to the inactive ingredients each manufacturer uses. The best answer can only be derived from trying each yourself. For me personally, Qualitest is the only generic that doesn't make me anxious, prevent sleep, or make me feel wired, all of which are counterintuitive to addressing insomnia.

Qualitest for me! CVS bought out Target pharmacy and when I got my Zolpidem refilled, it was TEVA. It doesn't do anything for me. I'm looking around for a new pharmacy that carries Qualitest. After reading all the posts, it looks like it may be a how the drugs work on each individual person.

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.

Christina: It can't. Qualitest Zolpidem (which we all loved) has sadly been discontinued. Youre going to have to go brand shopping for a different generic and figure out which new one works best for you. Ive settled on Mylan for now, but really its not as good as Qualitest was but it's decent.

Not even close . Teva is junk . Qualitest was the best next to the name brand you can get but they are no longer . Sandoz is the only usa generic left now . But they work fast and stop working way too soon . best to just get zolpidem er from Winthrop .

Try Sandoz dude. Thats been working for me really well the last few months. I went through like 10 generic brands after the qualitest discontinuation fiasco, and settled on this Sandoz

Re: JG (# 2)

The "Torrent" generic is the ONLY one which works for me. This is the first post that I've read from a customer who claims the same. I am glad to have read this.

The Qualitest generic Zolpidem is of VERY poor quality. I could not sleep more than three to four hours on this one. Then I switched to Walgreens, which uses Teva, and slept eight hours without waking up for the first time in two years. GO WITH TEVA! And read the legal suits filed against Qualitest!

Same experience here, Qualitest zolpidem only generic that works for me. Unfortunately, according to my oharmacist, who checked with distributors Cardinal Health and McKesson, Qualitest has recently discontinued making zolpidem. Arggghh. I don't know if that is temporary or permanent. Not sure what I'm going to do know. Am stuck with this Torrent pharma zolpidem which by my estimation is about 1/3 to 1/2 as strong.

I feel the same as everyone else. I liked Qualitest and started using Northstar. I have been told they are no longer making it. I have used 3 different brands in a year. Why do these companies stop making it? Pharmacies think I'm crazy but some of these brands give me bad dreams and some do not work. I have to take 12.5 mg to work. What's the alternative? Mylan, Sandoz and Teva seem to be the only choices.
