I absolutely couldn't sleep without those. All the other stuff gives me horrible side effects, and with PTSD, I use a Cpap mask now for apnea, and ambien to at least have a chance to sleep. I didn't know it caused withdrawals !!??
I was prescribed ambien for occasional use, and it got to the point where I couldn't sleep without it. So after taking it every day for about a year, it suddenly stopped making me sleep and started just making me black out. Unfortunately, before I researched quitting it, I took the remaining portion of my prescription to my pharmacist to dispose of for me. Then, I had five days of hell, on top of the flu, during finals week.
