For Insomnia "This is the only thing that I have tried that helps me sleep a full 8 hours. I love this medication. I have had no sleepwalking, and I have not done anything that I can't remember. The only side effects I have had are just feeling a little tired during the day and increased appetite. I would definitely recommend this medication to people with insomnia."

For Insomnia "First time I went on Ambien CR, I was disoriented and felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. I was on it for 5 days. I decided after trying several other medicines that I would try it again. Now, I get 8 hours asleep and I feel better now that I am getting to sleep. Still am a little tired throughout the day, but I don't feel insane from lack of sleep. Definitely hooked on it because when I miss, I know."

For Insomnia "I used to be on trazodone, Ambien, and Ambien CR. I enjoyed both Ambiens because I did get a lot of the sleep that I have missed out on, but I did feel groggy when I woke up and still tired. When Ambien CR started to not work as well, I would ride a bike and end up in someone else's lawn. My body got so used to all of them that, now after 1 year of not taking them, it still treats my body as if I am 'high.' Everyone's experience is different."
