Working / Worked
I HAD TO STOP TAKING IT BECAUSE IT MADE ME SLEEP WALK, DO OUTLANDISH THINGS, AND MAKE ME INCREDIBLY EXCITED ;) ALONG WITH WAKING UP GROGGY.
Working / Worked
Makes you high but it works.
Working / Worked
Use it when I have to as the last choice to prevent mania. Seroquel works most of the time.
Working / Worked
It works well. The only problem is that I don't end up taking it until like, 12 at night and then miss out on getting 8 hours of sleep because I'm up by 7 with the kids. No side effects when waking up, so it's good!
10 mg. I cant get to sleep or stay asleep without this med. The only downside is that it prevents me from waking up quickly. Also I sometimes sleep eat in the middle of the night!

Ambien works wonders to initiate sleep albeit addictive so I take it sparingly.
Working / Worked
Worked for two weeks. Stopped working. The end.
Working / Worked
it works most of the time.
Working / Worked
Worked years ago when my insomnia was very mild. Will only put me to sleep for 2-3 hours now. No longer use.
Working / Worked
Im not sure. It used to work well years ago then I think my body became used to it and it no longer worked. The Dr has me take it and xanax at night but one without the other doesnt work but I think my tolerance has become to high. Although when I did only take the Ambien it worked well with no SE and 4 or 5 hrs hard core sleep and I would wake up refreshed not groggy.
