Advice & Tips
This stuff works really well for me, although I've had to increase the dosage somewhat. Insomnia is getting worse. I use the generic version, Zolpidem.

Date
Jan 06, 2010
Advice & Tips
As my insomnia problems increase, I'm finding that I'm now taking Ambien 4 to 5 times a week, instead of 1 or 2 times. Also, in order to get a full 7 - 8 hours of sleep, I need to take 2 pills instead of 1.

Advice & Tips
I only use Ambien once or twice a week, but it really works for me. With one tablet, I usually get 6 to 7 hours of sleep with no additional drowsiness the next day or any other side effects.

Advice & Tips
Although this medicine works good for sleep if I happen to wake after taking it I do and say things that I do not remember in the A.M. It can be very scary to have others tell you things that you don't remember at all. DO NOT drive after taking this medication.
