... red oval pill - the substitute pill is round and white, also 5mg of course. Here us my problem, the white pill does not work. I usually take, when needed, Zolpidem in the middle of the night and I go right back to sleep within 15 - 20 min. the white pill did not work the same way - it took hours to get back to sleep. Is this possible?
Am I crazy? My pharmacy gave me another manufacturer of Zolpidem - for years I was taking 5mg of a?

Hi Sheila G,
I have just been transferred to Zolpidem (10mg white oval pill) after years of taking Zopiclone (2 x 7.5mg) and the Zolpidem is not working for me at all. I just cannot get to sleep and I feel awful the next day (head buzzing and body shaky etc). I know you posted in July last year and am just wondering if things got any better for you with the Zolpidem. Maybe I am just being impatient, but I really expected it to do what is says on the tin. ie... sleep!
