I Need Sleep! Is Ambien CR Good? Any Suggestions?

Postby BabyBunny » Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:15 am

Hey everyone.

I know I've posted some regarding my Insomnia but I plan on calling my psychiatrist tomorrow to tell her the Trazodone isn't working for me.

I've tried Lunesta (pooped out), Zyprexa (made me gain too much weight), Seroquel (same as Zyprexa) and a few over-the-counter sleep aids.

I am hesistant in trying Remeron because of the weight issues related with it and also I have heard it's like Trazodone. And I don't want to take over-the-counter stuff as it messes with me after a while.

I am interested in any info on Ambien CR, Restoril, Sonata, any other potent sleep aids available. So please don't be shy as I really am desperate and need some help. And some sleep!

Thanks so much!

Ambien hypnotic effects are similar to those of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, but it is actually classified as an imidazopyridine. It works quickly and appears to preserve deep sleep with infrequent changes in REM sleep. However, Ambien may become habit-forming when used for a long time and induce rebound insomnia.

If you have long-lasting insomnia may be it’s worth to try some non-drug therapies like acupuncture, progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, massage, yoga. These therapies are proven to be effective for insomnia and have much more lasting effect than drugs.

I use ambien on occasion, it does build an immunity if you use it all the time, so I don't use it more than twice a week, and never more than 1 pill a night. I recently got an order from an online pharmacy, www.licensed-rx.com and I found on a blog a nice coupon as well that can be used a million times, 2413624492, so far, everything is working great for me
