Already taking AMBIEN (zolpidem tartrate) CIV tablets, but not AMBIEN CR?
If you're taking AMBIEN, or a generic form of AMBIEN, you've obviously taken the steps to see
your doctor and discuss your sleeping problems. However, getting to sleep and staying asleep can be a bit of trial and error.
If your current sleep aid isn't letting you sleep throughout the night, it might be time to ask your doctor about AMBIEN CR.
The AMBIEN CR Difference
AMBIEN, and the generic form of AMBIEN, only help you with getting to sleep. AMBIEN CR is different. Only AMBIEN CR has a
dual-layer pill
that gets you to sleep and helps you stay asleep—so you wake up less frequently and fall back to sleep faster.
In fact, in clinical studies, AMBIEN CR was proven effective for up to 7 hours.

Important Safety Information
AMBIEN CR is a treatment option you and your healthcare provider can consider along
with lifestyle changes and can be taken for as long as your provider recommends.
Until you know how AMBIEN CR will affect you, you shouldn't drive or operate machinery.
Be sure you're able to devote 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being active again. Sleepwalking,
and eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been
reported. If you experience any of these behaviors contact your provider immediately.
In rare cases, sleep medicines may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of
your tongue or throat, shortness of breath or more severe results. If you have an
allergic reaction while using AMBIEN CR, contact your doctor immediately. Side effects
may include next-day drowsiness, dizziness and headache. It's non-narcotic; however,
like most sleep medicines, it has some risk of dependency. Don't take it with alcohol.
