Who has ever used it and what was your experience with it? Thanks.

You talking about Ambien? If you are it is good stuff if you use it for what it was intended. Makes you sleepy, but also makes you goofy. Get in bed when you take it and stay there.
I feel fine the next day.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Ambien will make you sleep like a rock ! If you take it and don't go straight to bed you'll do stupid things like go outside naked and knock on your neighbors door, shoot up your house with an AR and get arrested by a SWAT team. Google crazy Ambien side effects. Some of the stories will amaze you. BTW. The two examples I gave , I responded to when I was a LEO.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I haven't taken the CR but have taken regular Ambien. The first few nights I could tell as soon as it started to kick in and I slept well all night and woke up early with no groggy feeling. Once I had taken it for a couple of nights I would fall asleep quickly but wake up 3 to 4 hours later. After about a week I could take it and stay awake all night with no real side effects.
I've thought about asking my Dr about the CR but I'm concerned with it having a hangover effect.

Ambien is some "bad stuff". I would not recommend it unless it is a last choice. Mother used to use it and it would put her to sleep. Next day she was in hangover mode for half the day.
I can't stand a thief.

Ambien is the greatest thing since sliced bread. A couple years ago I got to where I could not sleep at night for more than an hour or so at a time. My thoughts wouldnot turn off long enough to sleep. Needles to say no sleep made the stress a whole lot worse. Doc perscribed me Ambien and I have nothing but peaceful nights now. I keep it in the drawer beside my bed and take it when I lay down. I usually make it through the tonight show monolog and then sleepy time. I wake up around 5:30 without a clock every morning. No hangover, ready for the day. My brother in law takes the CR (timed release). The regular Ambien I take gives you a does to put you to sleep. He still wakes up 3-4 hours later with it. The CR gives you the initial dose and then another dose a couple hours later to keep you asleep. Some folks need that second dose.

Never had a single issue or hangover from mine. I only take a half most times though and not every night just when I really need to.

If Ambien is too much for you but you stillneed something to help you stay asleep, have your doctor prescribe Amitriptyline. I take one or two 10mg per night and sleep real good, wake up if there's a noise that should wake me up and have no side affects at all. Plus it's generic and dirt cheap. My copay is never more than $3. 10mg is the lowest dosage available so I know I'm not putting much drug into my system.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

If you can't sleep try some natural remedies first - this stuff is a halucinogen and they don't recommend taking it over two weeks at a time but everyone I know that takes it does it every night. It affects everyone differently. Take it when you lay your head on the pillow and stay put. It can make you do/say/email/text/post some crazy stuff. Per the warnings DO NOT take it if you snore heavily - it can make you quit breathing. I took it for just a few weeks back when I had cancer and the meds were making me not sleep. I remember having a nightmare where I could not breath. I was terrified and could not wake up. I finally gasped for a big breath and woke myself up. Never took it again.

Yep! Only time i was on jury duty...lady had a single car wreck and was charged with dui (narcotics). I believe our trial was her second appeal try? She got on the stand and rattled off all these pain meds she had to take each morning to "function"...then finished with "and I took an ambien before I left". I wanted to jump up and scream GUILTY!! Took us about 15 seconds to get a guilty verdict.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

For the guys who can't sleep do you stay up after 9-10 watching movies/playing games or anything along those lines. Reason I say that I used to watch tv then jump up and try to go to bed never could. Now I stay outside till nearly dark in the yard come inside eat then shower and I'm ready to go to sleep. No tv in the bedroom black out shades on the windows ceiling fan running on low.
