My pdoc gave me some ambien because I haven't had a solid night of sleep in so long I can't remember. We're hoping to kickstart the sleep and I'll only take a full 10 mg for a few nights and then taper off (in the past it's only worked for a few days for me anyway).

I'm not taking it until later because in general if I fall asleep too early I wake in the night and don't get back to sleep and I'm reluctant to risk waking like that with ambien in my body. I'm hoping I'll take it and just fall asleep and stay that way.

But I'm scared...this stuff has been useless sometimes in the past. However I've not taken it in 10 years (she looked) and so I shouldn't have any tolerance.

I just hope for a solid night of sleep. If I'm on here being weird in a few hours you'll know why
