> I hope I don't offend anyone with this statement: No one should take Ativan, Xanax, Ambien, Lunesta or any of their cousins on a regular basis. Whenever I hear about someone having a hard time with their meds, they're usually on one of these extremely addictive drugs, drugs which actually make people depressed. Benzo's are so addictive, you could actually die if you go cold turkey.

> If you're going to take benzo's, might as well use morphine to alleviate the depression you get from the benzo's, and then cocaine to counteract the fatigue.What about Klonopin? I've been taking that (as needed, not on a regular basis) for ages. But, I'm not addicted to it. I can stop anytime. I do take Ambien (the generic) (I think) every single night though! I remember a doc saying this was bad to take for long periods of time, but I forgot all about it. I'm an insomniac thanks to Nardil, so I need Ambien and I take an over the counter sleeping med to help me sleep, otherwise, I have horrible insomnia and hypersomnia? - can't stay asleep, if that's the right word for it.
