Side effects from Keppra?

Hi Lisa, we've communicated back to December 24th of last year regarding sleep. So, this is just an update. My insurance company finally agreed to partially pay for Ambien, the Brand name of Zolpidem, which I've been taking for years. I got a call from my pharmacist asking if I really want to make the change? Ambien cost is $120 for 30 tablets which includes my co-pay. With Zolpidem, I pay $11.18 with tax for 30 tablets. So, I guess it's still the Z for me. I hope you enjoy your weekend.

I was wrong on the $120 I stated above. The cost at my pharmacy was $160 and THAT included my Co-Pay.

Have you tried searching for a coupon or copay assistance? It looks like GoodRx has a deal.

I find that if I take the entire 10mg of zolpidem at once I only sleep 5 or 6 hours. I’m anemic so I really need my rest, so what I do is take 2/3 of the pill at bedtime, then when I wake up I take the other 1/3 and catch a few more hours of sleep. This works well when the generic they give me is a long tablet and not a round one.
