I went through this same thing with my precious in-laws. You cannot stop Ambien COLD TURKEY, or you will have horrific side effects if you have been on for a long time.

You have to wean yourself off slowly. I am sorry to say, but Mirtzapine (Remeron) works the same way. If you decide to come off of that, you will have to wean yourself off slowly too.

I am sorry you are going through this. It was so hard for my in-laws, but, they got through it...you will too. Praying for you.
