Huh...interesting! I've been taking CR for a week, and I only experienced a little hangover effect after the first day. Since then, I've been absolutely fine. In fact, the other day, I functioned well after a night of sleep from Ambien
without even drinking coffee or taking a nap!! And in all honesty, I can't remember the last time that happened before Ambien!!
ETA:
From a news article I found:
Doctors can still prescribe the higher dose if the lower one does not work.
So we
should be good...but I found something that contradicts that on NPR...
he FDA is ordering companies to cut the dose for women from 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams for immediate-release products — which include Ambien, Edluar and Zolpimist — and from 12.5 milligrams to 6.25 milligrams for the extended-release product Ambien CR.
