How often? How long have you been taking it? Any side effects? >> I have been taking Ambien for just about a year now. I usually take 10mg but sometimes I will take 5mg. The scientific studies show that the " clinical " effect is the same - 5mg or 10mg. Of course, that begs the question as to why they make a 5mg and a 10mg? I dunno! Also, there is NO added benefit of taking more than 10mg. I have noticed that it does not " knock " me out as quickly as when I first started taking it. Use to, I would have to take it as I was walking to the bedroom because I would be " asleep " in no time. Now, I can take it 5-10 minutes before bedtime and have time to finish up things. I can easily skip nights without it when my RLS is calm and I feel like I can easily fall asleep without it. No withdrawal problems during my drug holidays. I use to have rather strange dreams.......especially flashing lights, like a disco dance floor. Now, I just have " nice " dreams. No hangover at all in the morning. In fact, I sometimes wake up at 4-5:00am feeling energetic and ready to go! RAINBOWPED@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
