I was wondering if anyone has any insight into this. A little background....I have to take Ambien or I won't sleep for many nights (all night). Plus I take Wellbutrin for depression, if it matters.
When I first started to take Ambien, about 6 years ago (I know it's only for short term use), I stopped dreaming. Fast forward until about 6 months ago. I now have nightmares every night.
I'm sick of this to say the least. It's stopping me wanting to even get into bed
It's unfair to have my only respite from depression be filled with such terror.

Do I have to live this way?
Going off my meds is not an option.

Thanks in advance...

Talk to your doctor or psych about this. There are other sleep aids that could help even to the extent of a better sleep state where you don't remember your dreams (only in REM sleep do you remember your dreams). Talk to him about Restoril (Temazepam). I found it much better than Ambian and much less horror stories than from Ambian.
