I can’t sleep. And I’m prescribed ambien. Don’t want to take it everyday but I really can’t sleep without it. I hope I’m not screwing myself. 10mg night. Has anyone else fought this battle and won. Really sucks

I can’t say if I have insomnia because I have no problem falling asleep at whatever time, usually around 1130-1200.

My problem is I wake up around 0330, go back to sleep. Wake up again around 0600 then lay there till around 0630-0645. I can’t sleep past 0700 to save my life.

I know someone that has trouble sleeping. They bought some blue light blocking glasses and wear them a few hours before bed if watching tv or using a computer, they say it helps.
10mg of ambien is a lot. I would cut them in half and see if 5mg works.

I have a script of Xanax for sleep but I sometimes take a GABA just to mix it up.

I’ve never been able to relate to this. As I’ve gotten into my 30s I’ve randomly started waking up at 5am but other than that I sleep like I did when I was a kid.

I forgot I took a Klonopin earlier today and just took a Benadryl and Melatonin. I’m going to be so drowsy at work tomorrow, I’m an idiot.

Start going to support groups and pose as a sufferer of a disease, let out a good cry and you’ll sleep good

Ask your Dr to try Trazodone instead of Ambien.

Like you, I was on Ambien, but didn't want to take it every night. I asked my Dr to put me on something I could take daily. He put me on Trazodone and it changed my life.

You mean trazaboner? I tried that for a while but gave me erections too long that would hurt. It’s a good or bad side effect depending on your situation
