Ambien comes as a regular or extended release capsule (Ambien CR), and is meant to be taken when patients have at least seven to eight hours to devote to sleep.[1]

Prescription Ambien can cost up to $90 a month, depending on whether or not a patient has prescription drug insurance. There are generic versions of zolpidem that may be less expensive alternatives to Ambien.
