In reply to i wish lunesta, ambien etc were like remeronsoltab, posted by saturn on October 2, 2006, at 17:16:46
I've noticed the same thing. If I eat very close to bedtime, I have a harder time falling asleep with ambien. My mother has the same trouble. I think I read something about food affecting absorption, but I don't have any references.
I tend to eat a light snack before bedtime, because it helps keep my blood sugar up overnight. Otherwise, I sometimes wake up feeling low. And then because I take syntrhoid, I can't eat right away in the a.m., so I don't like to give up my snack.
Have you tried Rozerem/ramelteon? I think I have a sample of it, but I couldn't take it at the time since I was also on an antibiotic which was contraindicated. If I can find it, maybe I'll give it a try and report back.
Take care,
