I found the answer!

Zolpidem is the generic form of Ambien, "tartrate" is just a term describing the "form" the drug comes in. Zolpidem (Ambien) comes as a tablet in tartrate form (in a salt form). The tartrate salt is used to make it water soluble and therefore easily absorbed by the body.

Thus Zolpidem and Zolpidem Tartrate are exactly the same thing and have the exact same effect on the body.

Hugs,

Karen
