Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Sleep Health Support Group.

May need to increase the dose of Zolpidem, as you age your metabolism changes etc. Also Ambien is a short acting benzodiazipine. A longer acting one is fluorazepam that would carry you through the night. Usual dose for women is 15 mg, med 30mg. But of course that is completely a physician/patient decision. Just giving pharmacological information.
