Of course he used to do electrical work on the house on it! I had to make him stop using it I was afraid he was going to get electrocuted.

I'll be sure to stay away from the Ambien. I've heard so many bad things about it. My pdoc gave me an Rx for Klonopin for anxiety and insomnia. I take half a pill in the morning and 1 pill before bed. It helps me go to sleep I guess because it calms me down, but I can only sleep from about 10 or 11 pm and wake up at 3am and it's very light sleep that's not restful at all. I'm not sure if she'll add a sleep med or prescribe something else for anxiety that will also help with sleep.
