Why Am I Not Getting Enough Sleep?
My pharmacy, OptumRX, has recently changed the manufacturer of Zolpidem, fromTorrent to Northstar. Consequently, I m only getting about 3 hours of sleep instead of the usual seven hours. Even though is still supposed to be 10MG. I am not a happy camper...Please help me.....
