Hi @lusia,

Welcome to Connect. I'd like to introduce you to @robbinr @128128terry11t Mentor @sandytoes14 who may have some thoughts for you. You can view their posts in this discussion:
– Insomnia. Nothing seems to help.https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/josephene-i-am-having-terrible-insomnia-as-well-nothing-seems-to-help/

Although this discussion is in another group on Connect, I'd encourage you to go through it, as @lacey @johnhans and other members have addressed the same concern about Ambien:

Here's some great information from Mayo Clinic:
- Ambien: Is dependence a concern? https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/insomnia/expert-answers/ambien/faq-20058103

@lusia, if you wish, would you share your reason(s) for wanting to wean off Ambien? We look forward to getting to know you.
