Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Ambien is zolpidem and it is a hypnotic. if you are getting good sleep with 10 mg then there is no need to increase the dosage further.
Bad dreams is a side-effect of zolpidem. If thats troubling you a lot then you can switch your hypnotic agent to either clonazepam or nitrazepam.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
