Which ever one works: Best for you. Both can be effective and both have side effects. Medications effect each person differently.

Ambien (zolpidem) stronger: In my experience Ambien (zolpidem) is more potent and may have more side effects. I don't recommend making a habit of taking either one on a regular basis.

It would be best to discuss this with your Psychiatrist. If you are not confident with your Doctor see another for a second opinion. It's good to have a physical exam to rule out illness. Sleep is very important for physical and mental health. You may need a sleep study to determine why you can't sleep. Also consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy.
