A member asked:

If i take my 5 mg ambien (zolpidem) every night will it eventually not work for sleep?

Possibly: Tolerance may or may not develop. Some depends on what you are taking it for, what other medicines you are taking, and how well it is working.

Max dose is 10mg: You also have other options for sleep, adding melatonin would be 1 suggestion. It is not meant for long term use. All the best.
