Yeah, it doesn't make me sleepy but if I'm laying down I'll fall asleep. If that makes any sense.

Ambien never worked for me I couldn't sleep on it and if for some reason I did sleep it was very interrupted sleep.
I hope it works for you.

Ambien was sedating at night, yet agitated me a lot.
I hope it works for you.  WC

Works well for me, though it has to be taken on an empty stomach. If I've recently eaten, it won't do anything. Not sure why that is, but that's what the label says and what my experience has been.

Ambien worked great for me, it helped me fall asleep and not wake up in the middle of the night!

It worked very well and always knocked me down to sleep. But it is not as good for keeping you in sleep.

Took 10mgs one time. It took me forever to fall asleep and then I only slept for about 5 hours. I popped awake and couldn't get back to sleep for nothing.

How did it go? Doc tried me on Ambien once, but not only did it not work for me, it gave me panic attacks. Other people have good luck with it though.

It didnt work for me. It caused me to sleep walk and eat in the night. Most mornings I wouldnt remember but my husband would tell me, some sleep but not enough to go through the side effects. My BIL also took it and it made hime do strange things at night. My sister would stay awake almost all night watching him. In the morning in their bed would be food wrappers and such.

I didn’t fall asleep when I used it. I was up to 10mg.
Everyone is different though so it may work out for you. |
