yes... for me it also happens for me with ambien.. I also one time did a sleep drive.. however, that was way before they knew about the side effects.. I have tried the CR and that doesn't work either..

My pdoc now does a combo.. ambien, plus trazadone..that is a pretty standard practice.. the ambien puts you to sleep fast.. the trazadone keeps you there..

trazadone alone does not do it for me either.. it causes a bad sensation of falling.. dizzy, tummy upset feeling.. that is why the the combo..
don't know if other people can just take the trazadone..
