Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, 5 HTP may help 25 mg once but please don't take it with zolpidem together.

However, the fact that zolpidem is not helping you any more is a sign that something in your actual clinical situation has changed.

I would recommend you to be examined by your doctor again for a probable change of the stage or the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
