Hi. With Ambien, been on it 20 years now, I get some sleep. If I don't take it I get NO sleep. But I really am done being held prisoner to this drug. The doctors tell me I'm not addicted but that it's habitual. I tend to disagree. My body is surely addicted. I really just want to stop it. I'm barely sleeping so why bother. Plus it opens the door for me to try other non-addictive, OTC or even CBD options if I'm off Ambien. I'm just trying to figure out how to wean off properly. I've gone from 10mg to 5 mg for several months now. How do I wean from 5 mg now? Do I try to cut half in half to get approx 2 mg or do I skip nights to wean? 20 years on his drug is a very long time so I need to be careful. That I know. Can anyone advise?
