What strength Ambien are you taking? Is is regular Ambien or Ambien CR

(which comes in 6.25mg and 12.5mg)?

Ambien does have a short half life (4hrs or less I think) but my husband

rarely takes it because it does make him feel so bad and sluggish the next

day.

The regular Ambien comes in 5mg and 10mg and is oblong shaped. The Ambien

CR is round and comes in 6.25mg and 12.5mg (different color for different

strengths). I always used the regular 10mg Ambien and I ALWAYS just bit off

about 1/3 to 1/2 and could take the remainder later if I woke up because

once I had tried the entire 10mg at bedtime and it was very very hard to go

to sleep and I didn't sleep very long.

I cannot tolerate that dizzy, drugged, whacked out feeling that some

sleep meds give me. I have enough trouble with balance anyway. And if

the meds do not product a good solid night's sleep (which for me they do

not) I don't see the benefit, myself. I have gotten that nearly falling

thing, too, and it scares me. Last thing I need is to fall.

Oh, by the way, I had prescription for the generic ambien last summer and

got 2 refills because I was stockpiling them even though I was not taking

them right then. Well, when I tried the generic, it DID NOT WORK AT ALL for

me. I got my husband to try it one night and he had a similar reaction

(took a very long time to act and didn't last very long). So I went to the

pharmacist in charge at Kroger and told her. Her reaction surprised me.

She said that was not possible. She said the generic is the same as brand

name Ambien. Anyway, I tried a couple more of them and then threw them in

the trash. Now I always insist on BRAND NAME AMBIEN. All the difference in

the world for me!

My favorite now-retired local pharmacist did not like generics. He said

some were ok, but many, if not most, were simply not equivalent to the

brand name meds.

I would prefer brand names for everything, but my drug benefit will not

pay for them. Any drug that has a generic, I have to take the generic or

forfeit any benefit payment on that med. That's right, I have to pay

the entire cost of a brand name med, if there is a generic available. It

really sucks. I honestly think I could pay all my medical and med

expenses out of pocket for what I pay for insurance premiums. Of course

in case of a mahor health catastrophe or hospitalization that would

quickly outstrip the premiums in benefit. But still............It makes

me nuts to have to pay, then be told what meds I can and cannot have.

What I would do is just purchase major medical and

forget the rest and pay out of pocket for what you

want.
