For Insomnia: In my experience with zolpidem, the manufacturer makes all the difference in the world. My current Rx is pathetically low in the active ingredient. The prior one wasn't much better but it worked. For Insomnia: Good med for insomnia if used properly. Which I did do at first - I took it then went straight to bed but be careful with addiction. I realised if I stayed up after taking it I ended up out of my mind with hallucinations, from what I remember I was acting like an idiot talking to people that weren't really there & falling all over. I'm lucky nothing bad happened to me. I ended up taking 3 or 4 tablets all in one go seemingly without a second thought. I did not remember taking them until I realized in the morning when I looked at the medication packaging that they were gone. |

For Insomnia: I take Nytol on nights I really can't get to sleep. My experience is that they don't work very fast, but when they do I sleep pretty soundly. Unfortunately, the result in the morning is that I feel like I have a hangover, and I often sleep through my alarms.
