Jerry said it the best - Ambien rules for sleep!

Chris,

I couldn't have put it better than Jerry did.

Ambien is a tremendous medication, and I've been on it for over a year, continuously. Curiously, however, my wife started taking it too (out of my stash!). Needless to say, I ran out early.

I can't legally refill it for a few days, but I'm fine! I had absolutely no withdrawal, and I sleep exactly how I did a year ago - before I started taking the Ambien.

My point is, even after a YEAR, I went off cold turkey with *absolutely* no rebound insomnia - I simply reverted to my old (crappy) sleep patterns.

It seems your doc is overly conservative. Ambien is excellent! When I take it, sleep is not a problem whatsoever.

My only wish is that there were drugs as good as Ambien for other indications - for people with things like schizophrenia or bipolar (fortunately I don't suffer from either, but feel for people that do).

Get some sleep!

Matt
