One problem with this thread is that we're hearing about all of the nightmares of ambien-- loss of memory, intensive dreams, etc. However, if you search the boards, you will find many DBer's who think ambien is a wonder drug. And much of the medical establishment agrees. Although it officially is listed in the PDR as for short term treatment of insomnia, many doctors will use it effectively for long term treatment. While I am not currently taking it, I did so for 7-8 years, with no hangovers, no loss of memory, no tolerance issues, and lots of sleep. Are there others out there with positive responses to ambien?
