User Reviews for Ambien oral

I have trouble sleeping AND my husband's nightly snoring into my ear. (No, I don't have somewhere else I can sleep.) I have taken Ambien, and then Ambien CR for several years. It never works immediatley, even Ambien CR--it takes hours for it to kick in, and then I sleep too long and don't get things done.Lunesta did ZERO for me, natural things have not worked, OTC sleep/pain aids have not worked. Medicine usually has very little effect on me--medicine of any kind. I have tried taking Ambien different ways. I really need sleep--otherwise, I always see the sun rising. Is there anyone else who has a lot fo trouble sleeping for whom Ambien doesn't work? What do you do?Read More Read Less

Since I began taking ambien I now fall to sleep very easily and sleep sound all night and feel really rested when I wake up. I think it is exactly what I needed to get me back to a normal sleep cycle. i

I have had trouble sleeping for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ambien for me to use 1-2 weeks. I have had the best sleep ever. I am actually dreaming again. I have had no side effects the next day. I feel rested, and have alot more energy. I have actually lost a little bit of the weight that I put on this past year.

It helps me sleep easier and wake up refreshed.

It works well but gives me headaches

Use Ambien 3 to 4 times each month. Usually works very well. Once in a while it does work well but that is very rare. I take the 10 mg and it does not cause any problems in the morning. Be sure you have 7 to 8 hours available for sleep.

Very effective, but made me feel horrible in the morning. If you are young and have sleep problems, switch to lunesta. When you get older, this drug will work perfectly. I used it in college and i missed a ton of classes. Effective, but a risk.

I have been on ambien and ganeric form 6 mo. If I take and go straight to bed I have no problems. My family says if I take and sit up I say things and act funny, like a drunk. I do not feel tired in the morning but do tire easy in the afternoon. Only side effect that I am wondering about and no one has mentioned, my face keeps breaking out and I never had that problen before. I do wake up hungry in middle of the night but get a cookie and go back to bed. GREAT MED! WORKS LIKE A CHARM

was awake till about 4 am always. then tired in daytime. After starting ambien, asleep in about 5-10 minutes and sleep all night. i don't know if thinner hair would be from this med or one of a few others or just old age.

it made me sleepy but when i got up in the morning it was like my brain never shut off...i was really drained and am still in the process of finding something that works

FOR 10 YRS OR MORE I WOULD SLEEP AN HOUR OR 2 AND WAKE UP REPEATEDLY DURING THE NIGHT. I RESISTED TAKING SLEEP MEDICATION. I HAVE LUPUS AND FIBROMYALGIA. SINCE STARTING GENERIC AMBIEN 4 MONTHS AGO (2.5 MG) 1/2 A TABLET, I SLEEP AT LEAST 6 HOURS WITHOUT WAKING. I AM HURTING LESS, AND FEELING BETTER DURING THE DAY - LESS TIRED.

i sleep like 5 hors and then get up like nothing at 4am cant go back to sleep

I have tried several other sleep medications, but Ambien works the best. I fall asleep fast and stay asleep for 6-8 hours. Ambien CR did not work for me. Nor did Luestra or generic Ambien.

Ambien CR will give you 6 huors of quality sleep. I'm a little drousy in the morning but much sharper and alert than without a good night's sleep

I SLEEP MAYBE 3HOURS AND THEN I AM UP

After taking for two weeks, I can now sleep regularly for at least a 4-hour block, a few times six-hour block. I was waking every 1-3 hours every night.

Even when taking only half a 5mg pill, I have trouble the next morning coming out of a fog. I feel a pretty strong Ambien hangover. It also causes drug induced sleep walking. Both my husband and I have gone places (yes, in a car sometimes) and have no memory of the event. I do not like this medication at all.

i sleep a good 6 hours
