I took Ambien for a while but I had no problems coming off of it. I’ve never tried any other drug I just stayed awake until I eventually fell asleep.
Is your medication still effective or has it stopped putting you to sleep, or if it’s no longer effective perhaps you’re trying to taper off it. Can you provide us any further details?
Take care,
Jake

Hi - I have been taking Zolpidem for less than 2 months. Some pain/nerve issues and now tinnitus due to a head injury. I started a tapering schedule with my Doctor. I am down to a quarter pill a night of a 5mg tab - he was suggesting I continue to go slowly. A couple of nights I had a challenge and had to restart as I took another half pill. I was wondering how long you were taking it and did you taper or just come off of it naturally?
