ambien

[janjam]

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?

thanks for the quick response  I don't think i've developed a tolerance but it is worth checking out  what type of drug is loramet!  Do you take sleep meds every night?  I do and cannot sleep without them.  Thanks, J

I USE THE GENERIC WHICH IS CALLED ZOLPIDEM HERE IN EUROPE AND IT IS OVAL AND WHITE. SAME AS THE OLDER FORM CALLED STILNOCHT HERE. I ALSO TAKE A LORAMET WITH IT TO SLEEP. ASK YOUR DR IF YOU COULD HAVE DEVELOPED A TOLERANCE TO THE ZOLPIDEM? GOOD LUCK AND IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO SLEEP. FROM A LONG TIME INSOMNIAC
