I have been taking ambien for years now (unfourtunatelly).

When the generic came out they switched me to that, I think the name was Mylan. I didnt notice too much of a difference.

Then they switched me to Teva, I felt a bit odd on it and I felt that it wasnt working as well.

Now CVS caremark switched me to Dr. Reddys Zolpidem.

Who is this guy and why should I care?

I have been noticing that it takes alot longer for it to kick in and the next morning I wake with a big hangover feeling!

I feel that this is a dirty drug or something.

Anyone else have this side effect from the generics?

I have tried several different versions of Zolpidem.

Zolpidem is the name of the drug contained in Ambien, The Mylan and Teva you mention are companies that make it.

I have never had any problems with generic versions. But I don't know which compaines made the three different ones I have had.

My mother had problems with one of the generics. It wouldn't work for her. But I tried the one that wouldn't work for her and they worked fine with me.

I think it may be an individual thing. Some people have problems with the binders different companies use.

My wife is very sensitive to a lot of generic drugs. They just don't seem to work or they cause side effects.

If you have a problem with all of the generics, you can request the brand name. It will just cost more.
