[quote=Anonymous]I have been on Ambien for over a year. I am an extremely hyperactive person and, though I do tire, my brain refuses to shut up. I work in a busy medical clinic and have a lot going on I my life all the time. I have no issues going to bed but sleep always eludes me. I take 5 mg about five nights per week. I have never had any of the side effects that I have read in all the blogs I see. I have had people tell me that if you starts taking Ambien you won't be able to sleep without it. ok, Well sounds pretty much the story of my life before Ambien. Only difference now is I can actually sleep. I do not suffer from headaches. I do not suffer from sinus problems. I do not suffer from strange nocturnal behavior. I do not suffer from depression. I recently had a full medical workup done just to make sure every thing was fine. I had my female annual preventative medicine exam, I had a full blood workup, I had a chest x-ray, I had my mammogram.  :idea: I even had MRI done, all of which came back clear as a bell. No bad cholesterol, triglycerides are perfect, my blood sugar is perfect, My blood pressure is perfect, I am healthy as can be. I realize that everyone's body is different and everyone is affected differently by different medications. That being said, I really have no problem taking Ambien and I do not feel I have had any adverse effects from being on the drug. And for the record, no I am not writing this in my sleep. The reason I even posted a comment here is that it is offensive to call others a drug addict and not know their situation. I have a physical and medical reason why I need a sleep aid and I have found a sleep aid that works for that problem. If a person has high blood pressure and they take their high blood pressure medication and it works and They must continue to take it for it to continue to work, Is that a drug addict as well? I think not. [/quote]
