"i have tried so many sleeping meds. i take two 10mg pills every night and some times i take an imovane 7.5mgs with it. i have chronic insomnia. i not only don&#039;t fall asleep but i also don&#039;t stay asleep. i find with the zolpidem, if i eat before i take it the medication is not affective for me, the same with the imovane. as long as i eat a few hours before i take this medication it works somewhat but better than anything i have tried thus far. i still wake up 3 to 10 times a night but at least it allows me to fall alseep at some point as long as its not on a full stomach. i hope this helps!!"
