Back in the day when Ambien first came out on the market I attempted to take it for sleep in replacement of the Dalmane I had taken for years. I did not get any benefit from the medication as far as falling and staying asleep.

I believe it depends on the person. Ambien is a Seditive/Hypnotic Class of drug in retro to a mild version of Halcion, and for some people, the Sedative/Hypnotic Drug class does a real good job at helping with insomnia.

While others (myself included) depend on Valium type sleep aid's in the Benzodiazapham Drug Class. I would am currentyly taking the generic to Valium and did have in the past success with Restoril or Dalmane who are in the Valium Family and may benifit those who suffer insomnia and respond to the Bezo class for relief from anxiety and insomnia. Not a professional at all opinion just personal experience over the years.

I hope it works out for you and you are able to get some good rest and all night sleep.
