> I have had a major problem with sleeping pills ever since I was in nursing school. I never sleep well so I would always experimate with different meds. I take 60mg of prozac for depression and am doing fairly well if if were not for the sleeping pill problem that rears its ugly head about once a month. Ambien is my drug of choice and I had my husband monitoring them, but then I got some more in the mail and for two days just stayed stoned. I do not want to go into a treatemnt center. Do you think a contract with my husband and my promise to buy no more will work?? I know you don't really know me, but I am terrified of inpatient treatment and most of the time I function well. Thanks

Yes, i see no harm in contracting with your spouse. i have a lot of respect for medicine. Medicines can be addictive, and they can also cause other problems (some becoming serious, like cancer or stroke or seizures or heart attack or even fatalities), that's why i don't like using any kind of medicine unless i really really and absolutely have too, and then i want to use only the safest and mildest and least damaging to my health. i'm a born again Christian, and i can vouch that prayer helps with sleep and also in every area of my life.
