Hopefully there is something else he can prescribe me because this is getting really old.
I do take ambian but have no issues with it except that it doesn’t keep me asleep. My pdoc recently recently added gabapentin. Though I looked it up and it said nothing about sleep it has worked wonders. The ambian helps me fall asleep but the gabapentin ( a low dose, just 300mg) helps me stay asleep! I’m sleeping better than I have in years. I hope you find something that helps.

Welcome
