Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 All, I recently found out that many of my sleep problems were related to a prescription sleeping medicine, Ambien. It turns out it is now only prescribed for short term sleep problems i.e. 4 weeks or less. I was on it for 2+ years. The problems it caused were lots of daytime sleepiness that got worse and worse. It was hard to get off it. There are certainly withdrawal systems and I was even sleepier at first without it because I couldn't fall asleep. But let me tell you it was worth it to get off of it. I really wish my doctor (who had not originally prescribed this medicine) had brought this to my attention sooner. My energy level is so high since I got off this stuff. Just a word to the wise in case any of you are taking it. -- Gigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
