I have been taking Ambien for about 12 years now to sleep. I must say that it helps me although I am sure its not the best thing to take for so many years but I dont know what else to do. My nightmares and night terrors are horrible!

seroquil will help but side effects are bad. doctor went to this after two ambien stop working

your problem sounds a lot like mine. I have had sleeping disorder of insomnia for 30+ years, started when I was in the Army and had to do a lot of shift work. Improved for about 15 years with just occasional bouts of insomnia, and then all of a sudden around 46y/o BOOM.....could not sleep. Have been on ambien, trazadone, klonipin and everything else under the sun. Now, nothing works b/c I think I have drug sensitivity. I am to try mediatation and hypnosis. I was doing hypnosis while in the military with the psych dept and it truly was the only remedy that helped. I learned self hynosis and am hoping that this will help again. Going to doctor on Monday.

Never thought about hypnosis,thanks.
