Have had troubles since childhood with insomnia. Ambien was prescribed because the celexa was keeping me awake and also I wasn't sleeping through the night after my mom passed and my divorce was processing. It helped because I'm a mom, don't have time to run ragged all the time.
Over the years I'd learned to self analyze my dreams, which helps settle my subconscious.
Recently tapped into an additional traumatic event and will relook at my insomniac history with new eyes.
