Common Questions and Answers about Ambien generic names
ambien
i have been using ambien for many years now. i used the ambien and it's generic form zolpidem. it has always work up until two months ago when apparently the pharmacy changed suppliers. i took the little round purle pill up until then and now i take a white oval one. This one does not seem to be working as well and the side effect just seem wierd Does anyone think that the new manufacturer product is inferior and has anyone experienced this?
Ambien (zolpiedem) helped me. It works quickly, doesn't give a morning hangover and is pretty cheap as it's available as a generic. I haven't tried the Ambien CR (time released, non-generic). Only thing about ambien is that, for me, I wake up after about 6 hours. But those 6 hours are pretty solid sleep.
i also was perscribed ambien, i felt worse after taking it so i am living with the insomnia.
My wife has been Zolpidem (generic Ambien) for 20+ yrs. She recently took a job in China and has been told the ultrasound show 'fatty infiltration of the liver'. She is 50 yrs old and drinks only occasionally and excercises and eats well/healthy for the most part. Could her long-term use of Zolpidem have contributed to this liver problem?
This was an issue when Ambien went generic. Many of the generic zolpidem formulations don't work. You can find forums on the internet where people talk about finding the generic zolpidem that is the exact same formulation as the original Ambien tablet.
Good for you George, I have this problem but I wake up every 2hours. I travel so much with my work that my sleeping hours are never consistent. For that reason I never use a sleep aid. At only 5mg of Ambien a day I don't think you will build up a tolerance to Ambien anytime soon. Glad you can get some sleep anyway, I never seem to get more than a couple of hours a day.
The first time it happened, I wondered what was making my bed vibrate and then realized it was me. I have been on ambien for several years and have started using the generic form in the past 4-8 months. This problem started in the last 4 months. I also had a period where my memory was literally shot. I had days where I wondered if something had happened or if I'd dreamed it, I was in such a fog. Could all of this be coming from the generic ambien?
I take 20mg of Ambien at night for sleep. I have tried everything, including taking time off the medication to get it to work. However, nothing seems to be working. Recently, my doctor added Trazodone 100mg to help the Ambien work. Can anyone think of anything that would work like this?
I'm in the same boat as the above person, there was no generic when I was on it. But generally, some believe that quality control is much better with brand names than with generics, and others experience better results with brand names. I'd try the generic and see if it works for you -- insurance companies are really punishing you now if you use brand names so it makes sense to give the generic a try.
10 mg of ambien and 100 mg of serequel works great for me. Is there any problem with this combination.
My wife has been on (generic) Ambien for years.. don't recall how many. All her doctors know it, including her Oncologist, Primary Care, and Psychiatrist.
I can't testify to the addictive nature but it does seem that her body had adjusted to it somewhat, that is it is less effective some times.
I take the pill very rarely and it works. I too prefer not to use it regularly and don't.
Some doctors, especially endos, it seems are convinced that the brand names are superior to the generic. Generics can be nmade by any number of manufacturers, and there is no guarantee that the same manufacturer is making your tablets from one refill to the next. The reason cited for preferring brand names is usually "consistency". Supposedly, the actual levothyroxine content varies more in the generic.
It was a new purscription but was told by someone this information
"I work for a primary doctor if your doctor will write you a script for lunesta in a generic form your insurance will pay for it also they will pay for ambien in generic it's alot less cost he should give you aleast a 30 day to see if it will help.
