A member asked:
What are some good sleep medications besides ambien (zolpidem)? after a cake for a while it stops working. i've tried several others and at the same affect. they work really good in the beginning but fade off. any suggestions

Tolerance: Lunesta (eszopiclone) is a good alternative. Medications like Ambien are addictive and people develop tolerance to it. I started prescribing relaxation apps to patients of mine to help them sleep and it has worked great. 60% of them quit their sleeping medications completely. I would recommend white noise at night also to try and stop using them.
