I still am not sleeping well at night. Although I go to sleep ok taking the ambien, I wake up a lot and just catnap between. I am at home today and I am absolutely exhausted. I am thinking about taking one and just trying to take a nice nap. I cannot go to sleep without taking something and have been this way since I was a small child. What do you all think about me doing this? I have to get some sleep!

Today marks day 14 since my last dose of Percocet.

Thanks

In my long history with sleep meds I can suggest this:

For [u]waking up </u>in the night: Chloral Hydrate 1000mg or Ambien 10mg
For finding it [u]hard to fall asleep</u>: Midazolam 15mg
For more [u]long term </u>use: Dalmane 30mg
For a more [u]mild</u> long term solution: Zopliclone 7.5mg
For [u]short</u> duration of effect: Midazolam, Ativan or Halcion/triazolam.

My personal favorite sleeping pill is midazolam, its a short acting and very powerful sedative-hypnotic benzodiazepine. Beware though, its more addictive than ambien. Amien is less addictive than most sedatives, but more mild.

I have a lot of experience with this and I hope my info helps.

Have a good sleep and remember most sedatives for sleep should be used off and on or for short periods to avoid any tolerance.

Anyone ever try sonata or prosom? if so email me and tell me about them..

sleep tight.

14 days. Your in the clear. Way to go girl. I'm still not there yet. I took two and half loratabs tonight. I'm not as strong as you. I'm sorry I don't have any advice on your sleeping problem. I know you have come this far on beating your addiction, then you can beat this problem, too. Best wishes. [:X]
