Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Ambien (zolpidem): No, but if not effective then need to ask doctor for different medication for sleep as Ambien (zolpidem) is short acting

She's been on 10 mg / daily of Ambien (zolpidem) for 28 days. She doesn't like how it makes her feel, so she skipped last night's dose. Today she's lightheaded and dizzy. She doesn't want to take this medicine any more. Can she safely stop?

Dr stopped my Ambien (zolpidem) for insomnia. Tried Trazadone 25 mg.for 1 month, lethargy next day unbearable. Now I'm to take 10 mg melatonin, as 5mg did nothing. Seems like huge dose. Ambien (zolpidem) worked perfectly. ?
