Hi cutstack,
I too have built up a tolerance to zolpidem. It helps me fall asleep still, but only for 1-3 hours. I've been taking trazodone--prescribed from my doctor. It's technically an antidepressant, but it really helps me sleep through the night (though it doesn't always help me fall asleep initially.) The side effects are dry mouth and drowsiness in the morning.
Also, my mother takes lexipro and it helps her sleep through the night. My doctor was hesitant to prescribe it to me, saying it's a "real drug" and a good friend of mine had terrible health problems linked to lexipro. However, my mom is on a low dose and it really has helped her sleep through the night.
