Thanx cindisue- I’m looking into the 2 meds you suggested- I’m glad I joined this group - don’t feel so alone - and I definitely feel for all …
I’m starting to feel my max is 5 hours of sleep !I can function on that ..but it’s not every nite - I’ve changed my pre sleep habits- no technical stuff
no tv in the bedroom. Etc etc
I had a rough time w a relationship ( torturous) in the early 90s . I was an idiot … (but more self loving now )so I started ambien around 2007 - Prescribed by a psychiatrist .. Im a happy camper now -tho I list my mom 2 yrs ago —- tuff stuff - been thru lots of therapy .. happily married - got a good life - got a dysfunctional family living in different states -
but who doesn’t -the stuff just doesn’t work … what’s wrong w this picture ???!!
I want to get off ambien… I have no qualms getting on something else however
Still testing the tranz and 2 1/2 mg of zolpidem
It’s been a month so far
- only 3 days w tranz
I pray for all of us sleepless ones !

fishergal5, so you're still taking Zolpidem? That's Ambien....thought you wanted to get off it? And when you say tranz....are you talking about trazodone?? Or what?
