My husband uses amitryptaline for sleep but I someone else I know with fibro recently told me that she tried amitryptaline first and hated it for the morning grogginess that lasted till noon (which is something my husband is experiencing too). She finds zopiclone better because for her it works fast and wears off fast. I know every person is different, but this has me curious about whether zopiclone (or something else) might be a better option for my husband. So here are my questions:
What do you use for sleep (or what have you tried)?
Does it help you fall asleep at a reasonable time?
Does it help you stay asleep?
Does it make you more groggy in the morning?
I'd love to hear your experiences before my husband's next doctors appointment. Thanks!

I take Ambien now - have been taking it for about five years, and it works great for me. The thing to remember about Ambien is that it's a sleep initiator - it will help you fall asleep, but not stay asleep. My issue is falling asleep, so it's a good choice for me.
I'm a little groggy in the morning, but again, no more than I ever was, as I'm definitely not a morning person.
