I have been taking Ambien CR for about 6 months now. I have had no side affects. I have not gotten up and got on the computer or driven to any place that I was not aware I was going. It helps me not to have nightmares. If you need something to help you sleep then take it.

I have been taking Ambien for several years, and recently started taking Ambien CR. It works very well, if taken on an empty stomach. However, I was having only mild sleep difficulty when my doctor prescribed it. I have tried other sleep medicines, Ambien is one of the strongest prescription insomnia drugs available. I highly recommend trying something with less side effects first, and only if absolutely necessary, try Ambien. Ambien is very difficult to discontinue after extended use.

MY HUSBAND WAS TAKING THIS AND WAS EATING LATE AT NIGHT, GETTING ON THE COMPUTER, AND DOING OTHER THINGS AND HAVING NO MEMORY OF IT THE DAY AFTER. HE FELT DRUGGED WHEN HE TOOK IT. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

My Father was taking AMBIEN CR and drinking alchol with it. Falling down and not remember things was a everyday problem. I tried telling his doctor this but he did nothing but gave him more pills.
