I hope everyone is aware that the FDA just passed a law requiring drug companies to cut the dose of Ambien in half for women only! They say it still has an effect in the morning which could make driving dangerous! I knew it! I was totally not myself the next day and night after taking 1 pill. So it will go down from 10 mg. to 5 mg. I wonder if they can be cut in half. Of course the article said not to stop it without talking to your doctor first. I took 1 and do not think I will ever take another one.

I wish that pdocs would call their patients who are on Ambien and tell them what to do. Mine doesn't know I'm not taking it. I'd faint if the doctor's office was so "with it" and "caring" to do that. Maybe they have to because they don't want to be sued?
