Insomnia
"I&#039;ve taken Ambien sporadically since 2003. I started using the medication to help me sleep when my husband was deployed.  What a miracle!  I have memories of being four years old and struggling to slow my mind down enough to sleep like a normal person.  I thought that I would always toss and turn and pace the floors of my house for four hours and sleep for two or three for my entire life.  I&#039;m very thankful that my PCM referred me to a psychiatrist to address my sleep issues.  I still rely on sleep aids many nights and alternate between Ambien and Lunesta.  Lunesta seems to be much more mild in my experiences, whereas Ambien just immediately induces sleep."
