4.1
For Insomnia: I thought I went I had dropped into a live-in nightmare 2 times in one night. It scared me so bad when I finally woke up I swore I would never take this drug again. It was the most horrific dreams I've ever had. I took 1. 5 mil pill. I'm still shook up after taking this drug. I hope this helps some one. It is not for me. I have never been scared of meds un till now |
7.1
For Insomnia: I’ve been on 20mg zolpidem a day for years off/on. It’s not as effective. I’m going to ask about getting the ambien and NOT the zolpidem/generic . For Insomnia: In my experience with zolpidem, the manufacturer makes all the difference in the world. My current Rx is pathetically low in the active ingredient. The prior one wasn't much better but it worked. |

For Insomnia: I've been taking Dayvigo for a month now. I have weird dreams, headaches, and anxiety. I take it with my trazadone 300mg. I seem to sleep much better but its hard to wake up sometimes. Groggy. I do wake up to pee and go back to sleep pretty well. I do take medicine for anxiety but lately after taking dayvigo I feel more anxious. Not sure if I will keep taking it.
