The *maximum* dose for Ambien is supposed to be 10mg. I have had to augment that sometimes when I wake within an hour to two afer getting to sleep by adding 5mg. HOWEVER, I do not think that too many Pdocs (those that even LIKE Ambien, as mine does NOT) would want you to increase it above the prescribed 10mg. I have talked to many who have "upped" their dose, but I would caution you that although Ambien is not *supposed* to be addictive, one does develop at least a psychological dependence on it. Personally, I think Ambien to be a bitter-sweet deal. It will get me to sleep, but it does not keep me asleep, and I am one of those that it makes wake up early. I never get more than 3 hours of straight sleep, even on Ambien w/Tranzene. I have a wake sleep cycle of about 90 minutes after that initial 3 hours (if that!) sleep.
