If you take the generic 1mg tablets have you even noticed the difference in potency between the blue and the green ones? they gave me the blue ones this month and my morning pill snowed me which is not the norm. This is not the first time that this has happened with the blue ones. Just wondering if anybody else has noticed this.

There is a ton of companies making generics of all kinds of meds, Did you talk to your Pharmacist about it ? They can usually order the ones that work the best for you if you let them know of your problems.

Take care

Hmm, that is kind of strange. I have only ever been on the 0.5mg pills (the little orange guys) so I can't say I have any first-hand experience as far as potency issues go. Since they're generic, like the previous post said, I think it's something you should bring up to your pharmacist and see what they can do about it.

Good luck!

I usually take the blue ones at 1mg to sleep at night.

I've been taking them for 2 months straight at night and I've built up a tolerance.

I usually stop taking them for a while then restart.

Doesn't really make me foggy or sleep, just gives me the option to sleep.

I ran into this sort of thing with some other med. The pharmacist did help me get the same med I was getting before. It worked.

I used to have issues where one generic wouldn't work if I got it from a different pharmacy or something. But I had other problems, like tolerance and dependence.

I've only had orange and blue. No green. I feel fine with the blue, but I've built up a tolerance.
