Also, it's a bit worse than imovane when it comes to the risk of impulsiveness and amnesia so my doc really didn't like it.
My family doc is not a fan of sleep meds. Can't say I blame her. I'll see what my therapist says tomorrow (she's also an MD). Ambien isn't available in Canada

After a quick google search I'm leary of it (and Imovane)

I plan to go to the gym tomorrow for the first time in months. Now I just have to go! I need sleep soon
