New approaches: Zolpidem (Ambien), while undeniably effective, has a deserved reputation as a problematic medication with a broad array of side effects, some severe. The risk of side effects goes up sharply with dose. It would be best to seek alternative approaches to your sleep problem. Ask your doctor to send you to a specialist with experience treating chronic insomnia.

Your choice what you: do, as always. 10 mg/day is the max approved dosage, adjusting to response makes sense. Study the Prescribing information, for Ambien at: http://products.sanofi.us/ambien/ambien.pdf & https://www.google.com/search?q=ambien+overdose, https://www.google.com/search?q=zolpidem%20molecule. You are the person with the most vested interest in understanding how others have responded, for comparison.
