A member asked:
I take 10mg ambien (zolpidem) and 3.5 sublingual ambien (zolpidem). if i can't find my normal ambien (zolpidem), would it be completely wrong to take the sub in proportion to reg amb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, wrong: Intermezzo (sublingual ambien) is formulated for people who fall asleep normally, but wake up in the middle of the night & can't get back to sleep. It should also be taken only if you have at least 4 hours of sleep time left before getting up. You should only take 1 tablet a night, & not take extra to make up for the 10 mg immediate release tablets that you "can't find.".
