OMG that stuff is horrible! When I went thru divorce I didn't sleep for weeks. It took 400mg to knock me out and i woke up with my tongue glued to the roof of my mouth and a dry mouth like you wouldn't believe. A guy a lot bigger than me told me 200mg put him out for hours. The doctor kept upping my dose toll 400 mg finally worked. Hated the after affects. Nose was always clogged up in the morning too. Nasty stuff.
Ambien is dangerous stuff.
There's a documentary called "Something's Wrong with Aunt Diane." It's chilling.
the cure is sobriety, then the 12 steps to work through whatever it is that's bothering you, keep your stress low, find a great way of living.
Sleep issues are a signal that there's stuff bothering you. Most of all how you treat yourself.
I suffer from insomnia too. I really feel your pain. It's a weird place to be. It's like some alternative reality. Once, when I took myself off Ambien, I went two weeks without sleeping. It was the creepiest thing. I seriously thought that I had forgotten how. I ended up smoking weed to get to sleep. I so understand your frustration.
Yes! I was going to recommend this to the OP. I don't often partake (I currently live in a state where it's illegal), but when I do, I sleep like a baby.

I used to live in Alaska, and I agree.
It doesn't work for everyone as some people would stay up all night jabbering. But it worked for me.
Alas, now I have to rely on HGTV to put me to sleep.
When this happened to me, I went to the doctor and I took medication, and it greatly helped. I felt great after I woke up. The suggestions here such as Benedryl are good.
Longterm use of Benedryl can cause memory issues...look it up.
I have posted quite a bit in the Alt Med area here on that "elusive sleep" and in recent months using HGH homeopathic gel and sleep is even better than ever...and so improved sleep is reprted by ALL using the HGH homeopathic gel which is transdermal. Amazing stuff.
