I need a sleep aid or I cannot sleep through the night, something I realize is necessary for health and well being. So I do take Ambien, but currently my dose is 10mg. It works for now, however I did have to take as much as 20mg at one point and backed down to 15mg and now at the 10mg. I think 5 mg is an extremely small amount for sleeping problems. It is the one safe and effective medication for sleep that I have found that leaves me with the least amount of next day hangover. I tried Lunesta also, but it was like water to me and did nothing. > > I hope you can find what works for you. There is always Melatonin. I was very sensitive to it and have to take only 1mg to sleep, but the hangover was too much for me and headaches. You are supposed to take between 1-3 mg for sleep according to the bottle of the brand I picked up, but I was extra sensitive to it. Given that effectiveness though, perhaps you could give it a try if you decide? > > Good Luck in anything you end up finding to help you get better sleep.
