I'm asking because I've been taking it for years now, and I'm worried about it, but feel I really need it.  I've always had sleep problems, but never took any sleeping pills until after my daughter was born three years ago.  I had a bad delivery and a very severe and scary case of PPD (I also have a long history of depression, including two psychiatric hospitalizations).  I was unable to eat or sleep properly for weeks, and began taking Ambien regularly as a sanity-saving measure.  Three years later, I still take it - 10 mg every night.  No more, no less, and it makes a world of difference in my life, because I can function so much better when I've gotten a good sleep.  My shrink, whom I have been seeing for ten years, prescribes it, and feels that given my three-decade history of depression, my dependence on it is not really a big deal.

So just wondering if anyone else out there takes it regularly.  I hate feeling dependent on a  drug, but in so many ways it's a lifesaver for me.

Thanks.  [/quote]
