A member asked:

Is there an extended release of zolpidem tartrate? i find the zolpidem isn't helping me sleep all night. thanks

Yes: Ambien CR is an time release form of zolpidem. It is for situations like your where you need a longer acting formulation to get a longer night's sleep. I hope it works for you.
