User Reviews for zolpidem oral

Lots of short term memory loss. weight gain significant.

This really helps me sleep most of the night but I do wake up around 4 in the morning and I can not get back to sleep

Ummm sleep? Word...

I wake up groggy and moody. . . I can't hear my 18 month old son in the middle of the night, but i do finally sleep!! Sleep is nice. . . I remain tired and groggy most of the day. . . when it starts to 'kick in' i hallucinate, even if im laying in my dark room with my eyes shut. . . It's good, but i do have many complaints. . I am happy I am finally sleeping though.

I'm pretty much an insomniac, the medication works well, but i found the best way to take it is 1 day on 1 day off. that way u dont build uo\p a tolerance

AFter overworking for nearly 2 months I had a 5 day period of insomnia (could not fall asleep till 2-4 AM). Then on I was exhausted. Discovered I am in a depression. This med gets me asleep after about 45 minutes. First few nights I slept 10 hours only waking once for a pit stop. Since then I sleep about 9. Very helpful. Am now thinking I should start weaning off to avoid withdrawl symptoms.

I recently started the medication, it does help me fall to sleep, but i wake up after 3 hours of sleep. And i have troubles falling back to sleep. Is this normal?

The first few nights of taking the drug i had problems staying as sleep, i still woke up 3 or 4 times a night, but it made me fall asleep right after taking it. Also i felt like i had a hangover feeling the next morning.

The meds put me to sleep, but I wake up after 2-3 hrs.I did not seem to have this problem with Ambien.

I tried lunesta first and i had a hard time falling asleep and i was also waking up a lot . The first night i took this i felt a little weird the next day but now 5 days later i feel fine. I just make sure i drink a lot of water the next day. Some headaches the next day but not to bad. Lunesta also made me very emotional, or maybe because i was not sleeping! But now i feel great. I fall asleep with in 30mins. Just make sure to get a full nights sleep.

I have been taking zolpidem nightly for several years now. It was extremely effective for the first few years. It is now not as effective as I have developed a tolerance to it. I would recommend always taking it on an empty stomach right before you get into bed because i have experienced episodes of memory loss. Altogether I believe it is extremely effective for temporary use.

I had hallucinations on this drug. I had been taking it with no issues then one night I took it and it hit me very hard. I was suprized but not as suprized when I started to hallucinate.

I only use this drug maybe 2-3/week. It seems to work very well for me. No side effects.I never wake up tired.Any sleep aids I have tried do not keep me a sleep for longer than 5-6 hours. It's so nice not to be tossing and turning all night.

I have PTSD and this works great for me

An effective & fast-acting sleep aid. I had no side effects. Some ppl complain of amnesia and even hallucinations but I had no such problems. It's the only sleep aid I've tried that has continued to work for my chronic insomnia. All the others I tried - benzodiazepines, trazodone, antihistamines like Benadryl and Atarax, Lunesta - either didn't work at all, or stopped working after a few nights. My only complaint is that it only lasts a few hours. Was not impressed with Ambien CR. Oh, also, the 10mg dose that is supposed to work for everybody, it doesn't work for me & I know several others who say the same.Read More Read Less
