I am new here also. My name is Kathryn I am a double amputee after 98 surgeries from a car accident and I have lupus. My car crash was a result of not sleeping. I had been up for 3 days and feel asleep. Thank God I was the only one hurt. I have a lot of pain issues but like I said my sleep problem started before my accident. If anyone has any advice on sleeping well or any good experiences with meds or etc. please share with me. When I was in my 20's it wasn't this bad I am in my 40's and just adopted my God daughter I have had for over 3 years now and need to know how I can get a good nights sleep.

Oh, @lillee - being up for 3 days without sleep sounds so hard.
One discussion on Connect you may want to check out is https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/josephene-i-am-having-terrible-insomnia-as-well-nothing-seems-to-help/, where members offer some suggestions on getting some sleep.
@hikeswiss - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. When you went off of the Zolpidem (Ambien), did you experience any symptoms from the reduction?
@korykong - how is your sleep going lately now that you're a bit out from tapering off the Zolpidem (Ambien)?
