Hi Sizzle & Winslow,
I'm prescribed tradition too, Sizzle. Works great for me!
I've heard horror stories about ambien's side effects, like sleep driving, waking up in jail w/no idea how they got there.
Sizzle, as long as you have a doctor's that's willing, I'd go as slow as you need to w/your taper. Yea, I've never cared for weed too much, but I'm all for legalizing it....especially for its medicinal attributes. Anything that can be prescribed instead of all those narcotics is A Ok in my book.
Sharon5, how are you feeling these days?
