I am 24 years old. I am suffering from insomnia. I went to the doctor. He suggested me to use zolpidem 10 mg or alprax 0.25 mg. I went to medical stores to buy those medicines but I got zolofresh 10 mg instead of that can I use this medicine instead of the prescribed one or should I get only that prescribed medicine. Please help me. Also please suggest me which one is the best one with least side effects.

Ideally you should get the exact prescription. Though it may be same Medicine but change in company can affect the results.
