@tim1028 My husband is having some issues with the 5mg interacting with another med.that can cause drowsiness, but it doesnt help him sleep through the night.
So I thought of asking our Dr to change his dose to 2.5 and found that's not an option.
And his pills are oval and coated,so they can't be cut in half.
I'm just curious where or how you are able to take 2.5,as you mentioned you take in the middle of the night.
Thank you for any help...

I’m in the process of weaning off zolpidum and when I take 2.5mg I just break a 5 in half.

Your husband’s pill can’t be cut with a pill cutter? That’s odd I’ve never had an ambien pill I couldn’t cut
