User Comments about Zolpidem Tartrate
11 May 2011 This prescription does definitely help me to get a full night's sleep most nights. However, I experience terrible joint/muscle pain that is sometimes debilitating. I'm beginning to think it may be this prescription.

10 Aug 2009 Suffered a lot of tragic loss recently and for a while really couldn't get to sleep without it. However, taking to pills gave me really bad migraines, so I started taking Benadryl to help get me to sleep instead.

26 Mar 2009 Biggest problem Sleep eating/cooking. I burned myself and had no recollection. I also put a bag on a hot burner and burned it up. Only way I knew was what I found the next day. I wake up and know that I've eaten because of the mess in the kitchen and dirty dishes in the bedroom.

25 Feb 2009 To quote a well-known add on UK TV, "It does exactly what it says on the tin". When I take this I go to sleep and have a restful sleep.
