For Insomnia "Over a period of time, my doc prescribed me a whole list of medications to see which one worked the most. Right now, I'm on Ambien CR, and just like most others I had tried, it worked the first few nights. Now, when I take it, I'm wide awake for 5 to 6 hours, and then I'll end up sleeping all day the next day."

For Insomnia "I have taken CR for over 10 years. It is generic, and there are many. However, the blue 12.5 mg worked great while taking Vraylar and Trintellix, bipolar meds, which I am not, but they seemed to work on my depression. Until I was diagnosed with addiction. We stopped the Vraylar and Trintellix, switched to Wellbutrin XL, 2 100 mg tabs in the morning. Amazing miracle drug for addiction. HOWEVER, THE AMBIEN CR GIVES ME ONLY 4 HOURS OF SLEEP. That sucks. Any suggestions, PLEASE HELP."

For Insomnia "On Ambien CR, I was walking all around my house, talking to myself. I was told this because I remember nothing. I also woke up very early without much sleep. I took 1 Ambien CR."
