Taking Zolpidem?!
Question: I've been prescribed 10mg of Zolpidem to help my insominia problems. I have been cutting it in half to 5mg and take it approximately 4-6 times a week. I really get a good night sleep and feel refreshed in the morning opposed to sleeping without it. Is this a bad idea to take it so often or should I just stop and go to sleep naturally, but not sleep well. Thanks.

If you take 5 mg of Ambien once a day you should be just fine. Actually my fiance has took 5 mg of Ambien every night from his 10 mg tablets just like you for almost a year and he's o.k.
Although make sure that you realize that Ambien is sort of addictive, considered a narcotic sleep aid and should only been used as long as you need it! Hope that that helps!
