When my mind is working on projects and keeping sleep away, I get up and take a Tylenol and soon am fast asleep, otherwise I'm thinking all night long and it's such a waste because I may think but never make decisions....

I tell my doctor every time that I see him for a refill that this pill literally changed my life. My husband completely agrees. I plan on taking Ambien till the day I die and thank God for it every morning.

I tried Ambien and I had halucnations and didn't know it. I was waking up my husband during them and it scared him. He was worried about what might happen if I haden't woken him up. Did you know that there is an OTC that has the ingredients that tylenol but no tylenol? It has worked wonders for us. Just ask the pharmacist.

I tried Ambien for a few days. It kept me wide awake for several hours. Then I'd sleep more from exhaustion than from the pill for a couple hours. When I woke to fix hubby's lunch and breadfast, I'd be big time groggy until noon. I mean, useless groggy.
I don't need that trouble.
