I've had insomnia for the past 20 years. I take half of a 10 mg ZOLFRESH tablet, but I still have trouble sleeping. a hangover the next day, therefore if you could recommend a better medication, I would be eternally grateful.
Zolfresh (zolpidem) can cause next-day hangover and is not ideal for long-term use, so changing it is reasonable. Safer options your doctor may consider include low-dose doxepin, trazodone, or newer drugs like daridorexant, depending on your sleep pattern.
