I've tried everything under the sun for sleep. Ambien is the only thing that works. I've been using it for 15 years. Sadly tge drug is restricted. The medical community (including mayo pain clinic) think it's evil and want to take you off it. Like Kratom for pain, the medical community doesn't want you to have something that works. I even walked out of a clinic because they took me off ambien suddenly and threw me into rebound insomnia!

I am 72 years old. And throughout my life every time there is a substance that helps with pain that is not pharmaceutical or taken over by the government they make it illegal. I also do not believe regulators of pain medicine should be left up to people that have experienced nothing more than a stubbed toe or a scraped knee. Shatter their leg or break their back then they can talk.

That breaks my heart. Are you in Canada or USA? I have no problems
getting in Florida. I just am trying to detox my body and find a more
natural way to fall asleep. I have established a routine - preparing for
bed - so it calms my nerves down - only using 5mg Ambien now but not
staying asleep - maybe 4 hours. I want more. Maybe it is an aging thing
(75 years old) and it comes with that but I call that BS. I eat well - ,
rarely enjoy a cocktail anymore , convinced it will keep me awake. I
exercise, it’s frustrating as this is such a debilitating illness and no
one cares or understands.
