[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think i am a little late for this post but I take Ambien and have for more than 3 years. I took it through my first pregnancy and now am taking it through my 2nd. I have tried EVERYTHING. Insomnia is debilitating. It was for me. It caused me anxiety. It caused me depression. I have tried dealing with the latter two in addition to the insomnia but ultimately, my doctor and I decided that i suffer from insomnia. So we treat the insomnia with Ambien. It works. It has no side effects. I still wake up regularly during the night but it's better than nothing. Please dont judge people who seriously suffer from insomnia. And just saying "have you tried warm milk? how about melatonin?" is probably the most insulting and upsetting thing I hear. YES, i have tried EVERYTHING. I dont take Ambien because it's fun. I take it because it works. [/quote]
I totally agree. i am an ambien user and could not even think of living w/out.  I'm a normal person who does not like prescription drug usage unless absolutely necessary and have been very hard on myself in thinking it was wrong to take. I am comfortable taking it now because I realize I need it. I am not a druggy because of it.  However, do be careful.  I have written weird e-mails not realizing it until the next day.  I have even made phone calls and texts....so, be very aware of odd behaviors you may have during usage.[/quote]
