Tapering Ambien???

Posted by traveler on March 4, 2004, at 17:56:03

Greetings
I have been taking ambien on and off (mostly on) for about the past year. I usually take about 5- 10 mg for four days, then stop for a couple of days, utilizing 1/2 mg ativan as an interim night time sleep aid. Well, I have decided I am at a calm point in life where I need to take control of the drugs and try for natural sleep.
Has anyone tapered the ambien over a period to discontinue its use or do people just stop and suffer the rebound anxiety? I would love to hear from people who have been in a similar situation and there experiences. Oh, I also take 10 mg of Prozac in the morning to help with obsessive thoughts and anxiety.
thanks for any help
traveler
