Hi there. i am currently taking adco-zolpidem hemitartrate 10mg before sleep, but i find it isnt helping. can i take 20mg?

No, maximal dose is 10 mg and I do not think a higher dose will make any difference. Please consult your doctor for an alternative.

You are showing classic signs of tolerance to your sleep medication and would not recommend higher dosing. Discuss next steps with your doctor. Consider a Sleep Hygiene Program
