Hi Todd,
I've had problems sleeping for a couple of years now. At first I was started on a low dosage of klonopin and Remeron just before bed. This combination worked well until the insurance company thought they knew more than the doctor treating me (two antidepressants). From there we went with Lunesta. Again this worked great until the insurance company wouldn't pay for the Lunesta. As luck would have it, they just started with a generic for lunesta about that time, Zolpidem Tartrate. It seems to work as well as the Lunesta.
As Cs mentioned these drugs are addicting. I only take it when I absolutely can not sleep.
Be careful and talk with your doctor about any sleep aid you take. Fully understand what you are taking.
