i am at a loss to describe to you what withdrawl or even tapering from ambien (called imovane in canada) is like as i personally have never seen it. i do know that it was once tauted as a relatively non-addictive drug, and that classification has now been changed. but from personal experience, most people who have taken it either complained that it doesn't work and stopped it, or managed quite nicely on their dose. i have never heard of anyone increasing it to the levels that you have. i guess most folks just give up and go back to good ol' benzos. please take rxnurse's advice and seek out the resources that are available to you. i think you already know that it won't be no hotel. no drinks by the pool. but it can be your lifesaver. i shudder to think of what might happen if customs cut you off cold turkey...
