@chawk Understand…I am 75 and have been on the generic zolpidem for over 15 years - maybe more. I was prescribed by PC many years ago to help me go to sleep through neuropathy pain. I was still working full time, and could not function at work due to lack of sleep- my body requires at least 6 hours to function and be coherent…and that’s what zolpidem does for me. I have a bedtime ritual, no computer, lights done, soothing music and Vicks on my feet. I am usually asleep in 15 minutes. Heaven forbid if my insurance company refused to fill it for me.. I would recommend this generic, or at least GoodRX as someone mentioned. Keep us posted..

@patriciaschulz1950 Hi Patricia--It's actually Zolpidem that I've been taking for the last umpteen years--and it's Zolpidem that my insurance company is stopping. I've gotten it from CVS without any problem. As for GoodRX, I'm not certain they would start a prescription for a controlled substance. It seems like such overkill: All we want is a good night's sleep, right?
