Insomnia
"I have always had sleep problems even as a kid. Sometimes it was bad sometimes it wasn&#039;t. Developed severe insomnia after getting off Duragesic patches for fibromyalgia (the doctor didn&#039;t bring me off wisely). Have been on zolpidem for about 8 weeks. It works great but occasionally I have a weird dream, usually the same one. I also slobber alot. But I get so much better sleep. I feel better than I have in about five years. The only downside is that my reading has taken a hit since I go to sleep quickly and don&#039;t wake up during the middle of the night. I do want to get off the medicine if I can but the three days I stayed awake coming off the Duragesic was a nightmare that I would like to avoid again (I&#039;m not young anymore)."
