In reply to Ambien generic soon? I agree Ambien is better, posted by fachad on April 23, 2005, at 0:05:22

> If Ambien goes generic, the copay will drop to $10/month and in some cases they will cover more than the prescribing limit if the med is generic.I have to pay $25/month for Ambien, but if you come in 1 day before the 30 days, they will not cover the prescription. Insurance companies are so funny about sleep aids. At least it seems that way with mine. I just switched to lunesta 3 mgs and so far the results have been good. I do like that ambien works faster.
