I have been taking Ambien for years and have never had any of the strange side effects I've read that others have. Ever since menopause began years ago, I have had severe insomnia and that is the only thing that works for me. And when I wake up in the morning I feel refreshed and ready to hit the ground running. I don't have that "drugged" feeling when I get up. I tried all the OTC drugs and natural drugs and nothing works for me except Ambien (NOT Ambien CR). But as with all medicines, they affect people differently. |
