Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi Debbie: I am glad you like your new PCP. Also, glad you got the RX to try Ambien CR. I have been taking it since my hosp. stay, and it works good. When this bottle is gone, I will no longer take it. I hope I can sleep without it!!! Happy sleeping tonight!!!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I took Ambien for one month. I ended up sleepwalking and a few other things that I didn't like. It just added more problems.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Debbie, I also just started AmbienCR this week and like you am paying the price because of no generic. I did find though that Ambien has a coupon on their website for $20 off your next 5 refills for a total of $100 savings. WooHoo! The link is here: https://www.ambiencr.com/register_now/ambien-free-trial.aspx After registering you are brought to 2 coupons. One for a free trial, which you don't need and further down on the page is the coupon for the savings. Saving money is a good thing. Take care. Bob > > Today I saw my new pcp about my insomnia.
