The NEW Ambein

I take Ambien all the time..every night for years now but I got a 7 day free trial on the new extended release one..I take 10 mgs of Ambein..so the new one is 12.5 what is the other 2.5 mgs made of? If it is Ambein all they would be doing up raising the dose....Any drug smart folks know?

I would like to know this answer also. Ambein in the only thing that makes me sleep. I am little conerned when I don't have enough money to pay for the drug how am I going to sleep.

Leslie I don't know on the 2.5 mg but as far as when you have to go off due to lack of cash..I hear to taper when you have been on it a while....but rebound insomia is what you get..then you look for something else..I fear that day ya know?

The new tablet is the regular 10 mg Ambien with a sandwich layer of slow release Ambien 2.5 mg. One of the criticisms of the regular Ambien is that it didn't last through the night. So, they give you the same 10 mg effect you're used to, and add on a trickle release of just a pinch more Ambien, to extend the peak plasma concentration a little longer (say, two hours longer), giving you a pill that is effective a couple of hours longer than before.

I'm an environmental toxicologist. There's a substantial overlap between what I was trained in and certain aspects of medicine. I am quite comfortable reading medical literature, and such like.
