HI, @tennbee - will you talk more about the 10 mg dose being a little too much for your body to process? What have you experienced at this dosage? Interestingly, @earl66 also talked about feeling a 10 mg dose was too much, and maybe can explain further what he experienced.

@clutch - how's your sleep going after tapering off the zolpidem (Ambien)?

I have to get up at least 1 time, if not 2, to go to the bathroom during the night. I feel unsteady on my feet so I'm extra careful. This has just started to happen this year. I've tried breaking the 10MG in half but most nights I'll get to sleep but don't stay asleep very long.

Thank you Lisa.
I was able to wean off the Ambien pretty easily, but traded the witch for the devil by doing so. Had to depend on benzos for sleep. I actually think I should have tried it the other way around. Anything has to be better than weaning off benzos. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone for anything, except in very extrememe anxiety disorders.
