> Well, it looks like everyone is on the bandwagon about this one! I have always been an insomnia, which in the past has made my depression worse when I don't get any sleep! Along with my current cocktail of Wellbutrin, Neurontin and 1/2 trazadone, I have a supply of Ambien if needed. I don't need this often, and too usually break the pill in half. I find that I drop off very quickly (within 20 minutes). I have no sense of getting sleepy, just wake up the next morning realizing that my brain just shut down.The package insert tells you to get into bed before you take this drug as you will fall asleep quickly. By no means should you try to do anything after taking ambien. Ambien is known for having no hangover effects the next day as other sleeping meds do, and I find this to be very true. I think it is a great occasional sleep drug when you must get sleep for work the next day etc.
