Ambien is GREAT!

[Goldprospector]

Since I got struck by lightning in July/99, I have been a chronic insomniac. I got for a few weeks on 2 or 3 hours of sleep per night and then it hits me real hard and I would sleep for about 12 hours in one night, then the process would start all over again.

I have tried several different scripts, and most all OTC products and they would either not work or only work for a couple of days then the effect would be nill. Or I would wake up after 6 or 7 hours and feel like shit. Almost hungover!

I have been on Ambien for a little over a week and it is great. When I take it, my eyes tingle for a few minutes and then I am out like a light. I have slept the best in the last week than I have in years. and I don't feel hungover when I wake up.

I am waiting on blood work results now to see if anything is abnormal (the Doc says all my symptoms sounds like Hypothyroid).

Anyone who can't sleep while on cycle may want to give this stuff a try.

Tylenol PM when I am off cycle works fine for me. I went to sleep at 9pm woke up @ 2am because the power was knocked out. Anyway, I am up for the day now

its great but be careful not to become dependant on it. i thought i could never become dependant on it until i ran out then i felt like i would never sleep good again without it. it took me a few days to get use but but i eventually did. also some advise DONT DRINK ALCOHOL ON IT trust me from personal experience good luck

I don't do alcohol, so not a prob... As far as dependant, The doc just started with 1/2 month supply until he can see what the problem is with the insomnia. He took a bunch of blood and I am supposed to get some results soon. He suspects hypothyroid, but then backed off and said he'd better not make a guess until the Blood work gets back...Damn, I wish he would have prescribed Armour Thyroid. LOL

well if you are hypothyroid he likely will prescribe that or Synthroid (levothyroxine /T4)or if you ask him he may even be willing to prescibe Liothyronine (T3)
