finally

As you know I have sleep issues like many of you. I have had a runaround with the doctors about refilling my ambien so for the past 6 months. But today I got a different doctor and he refilled my prescription for 6 months!!!!! I dont take it every night so that will last me a bit longer.
I am looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight!

Sweet Dreams!! As a chronic insomniac I know just what you go through and it isnt fun at all to be sleep deprived. I take Ambien but been on it for 3 years, now with some new meds Im on, it is causing short term memory loss which is a scary thing, so Im going to ask to have mine changed to Halcion, Restoril or Chloral Hydrate, when I go back. Ive tried all the others ( Lunesta, Sonata, Rozerem, even Benadryl which works opposite and makes me hyper) and none have worked for me. Ambien only works for 4 hours at the most for me, then Im wide awake. Its horrendous to deal with no sleep so sweet dreams!

I have been on and off the ambien for years. it doesnt work the best for me but is better than nothing. I have taken others and have the same as you...make me hyper. the only one thing they gave me that worked good and had me out for 4 hours of restful sleep was the ativan. that stuff was super. but they wont let me stay on it. so I am thankful to have the ambien for now. Yes the no sleep is horrible.
do you do any sleep walking with the ambien? I do and I know why I have regained so much weight. I get up in the morning and see what I have eaten in the night. when I take it

May you have a great night's sleep tonight and from here on out.
Nighty Night Kim!!!!

Thanks Jackie, I only got up 4 times in the night. dont know what time I got up and brought the chihuahua upstairs to the spare bedroom with me.
Have fun with my dear friend today!
