Hi sky,
Sounds like dealing with the sleep issue is frustrating.

I know I get more active in my sleep when I take Ambien, especially at 10 mg. Twice I've almost punched my hubby in my sleep. And I've had some intense dreams that were hard to shake off in the a.m.

I haven't tried Ambien CR. I sometimes wake up during the night on Ambien. I tried Lunesta and I just couldn't stand the bad taste.

I hope you find something "just right" for you.
