[quote=Anonymous]Just a heads up to those of you who say ambien take hours to begin working, make sure ur not taking the generic "Zolpidem" made by TEVA. It turns out that clinical trials prove that the maximum concentration of teva zolpidem is almost 10% less than ambien. That, combined with ambien's short half-life (~2.6 hrs), means that you are only getting about 90% of the effect and right after it peaks (which could be more than 2 hrs after taken), it begins to be eliminated. So if u take it with or soon after food, the peak concentration could happen after 2.6 hrs meaning one half life has already happened, so the "peak" effect of the drug could be close to about 5mg of brand ambien. So in the end you would be better off taking 5mg of brand name ambien at 2 in the morning than taking 10mg of teva zolpidem at 11:00 pm[/quote]
