I have tried
Ambien for 5 days. The first night I fell right to sleep on 10 mg. Since the first night I have slept very little. I have taken 10 mg and sleep for a couple of hours and then take 5 mg and sleep for another two hours. it is now 4Am and I am still awake. What is the problem? I am alert and never groggy. I just can't sleep. I am on a decongestant but it seems that whatever sleep aide I take, I can't sleep. Thank God I am now retired. I have done all the sleep therapy steps and they do not help. I think I will try one melatonon and one
benadryl as someone said. I have tried each alone, but to no avail. It usually takes a great deal of medication to cure any problems I may have. For example, I gave been given vicodin and
percocet for dental procedures and my pain was still there. Luckily, I am healthy now, except for the insomnia. I have had a psych work up and no problems.
