Sorry to hear this - I have tried for past 6 months to reduce my 10 year use of Ambien. I am down to 5 mg. per night - just can't get to sleep without it.......Have decided to just forget trying to get off of it because I do much much better not worrying about the consequences and I love taking it and going to sleep. Maybe someday someone will have the answer on how to get off of this. And yes, I have memory issues but not sure it is from ambien use or something else but need to sleep. ......other than that have no issues with taking daily.
