The generic ambien put out by apotex, well let's juset say that I've been taking it since it came out and I can't this this combination of the drug and fillers used in their 10 mg pill. I don't know what the difference is but it makes me very hung over the next day, almost unfunctional. With all other brands I have taken I have gotten good sleep and woke up refreshed. If anyone knows what might be going on with this companies edition, please let me know. The pill in reference is round and a light lavender in color. The others I have taken is a white like the brand, a pink elongated pill and a white round pill. These work wonderful for me but not the round lavender pill.
Rajive, That do you know about drug manufacturer Aida? My pharmacy filled my perception for Ambien CR 12.5 with a generic pill I can find no reference to. It is a small round yellow and has A1 end embossed on it. I'm not taking it until I can verify it. If you know of a source in English I can use to verify I would appreciate knowing. Aida appears to be Chinese. Thanks, Jo
