Generic Name: Intermezzo (zolpidem)
Intermezzo Reviews
For Insomnia "I took this early enough that I still had 6 hours to sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed! I felt much better than I usually do after sleeping. I slept so soundly. Other sleeping pills left me feeling groggy the next day - but not this."
For Insomnia "I have taken this about 3 times now and it works great. The only downfall with this pill is that it takes awhile to kick in. So I make sure I take it with 6 hours to spare. I haven't had any hangover from it either."
For Insomnia "This drug is terrible and taste so bitter. The pharmacist gave that to me in lieu of my regular Ambien which I am very particular about which one I get (there is a white one or a beige one and the the white one makes me groggy) This drug which is what a coupon gives u instead of Ambien (zoloidem) depending which pharmacy you go to and it does not work at all for me cause I swallowed it instead of suck on it."
For Insomnia "These take up to an hour to kick in for me so it is frustrating when I take it for breakthrough insomnia in the middle of the night. I also feel more groggy with this sublingual form of ambien versus when I take standard ambien(swallow). Not what I was expecting, but it does help a little."
For Insomnia "I use Intermezzo to solve my Sleep Onset Insomnia issue. I use the smallest dose (1.75mg) and place it deep under my tongue. I reliably fall asleep in 30 minutes, whereas without it, I can require up to two hours to fall asleep. I also take a 5mg melatonin, which I believe helps me stay asleep for 7-9 hours. I wake right up (I'm a morning person anyway) and feel great. If I don't sleep, I have a miserable day. I sincerely hope this is a long-term safe solution."
For Insomnia "Worked as advertised. Really helps."
For Insomnia "I love it! Sleep great on it... wake up feeling like I've had a good night sleep."
For Insomnia "Very fast acting, very effective, and does not make you as drowsy the next day. Have experienced some dizziness the following day, but nothing serious."
For Insomnia "I work nights and need the sleep during the day. I no longer feel like a Zombie as I am getting some solid sleep."
