| Add Ambien review WARNING!!! This drug has horrible side effects with long term usage. Took for 8 yrs half pills of 10mg to sleep. I ended up hospitalized with hallucinations and anxiety attacks when trying to come off the pills. rebound insomnia lasted a few months. Hell to get off. TAKE a natural melatonin supplement. This drug is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and has bad side effects!!!! i Have M.S. if I do not sleep at night and fully relax it's almost impossible to function the next day. I have fibromyalgia. This causes interrupted sleep to the point I cannot function the following day. Once my doctor started me on Ambien, my sleep pattern improved, my pain was more manageable and my mental status has greatly improved. Because I have been on this medication for quite some time, my physician wants to get me off of it. On the nights I take it, I wake up rested and refreshed. T ... I have been taking this drug for 15 years...it worked great for a while.......it does not work at all now!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Add Lunesta review Very dangerous drug. It was very effective at first. I took it for ~5-6 months. I developed tolerance withdrawal (ear ringing terrible sinus headaches) after ~5 months. Had severe withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuing. Should not be prescribed for extended use. Due to the fact that I have no stomach, I have absorption issues will all drugs. Ambien made me hallucinate horribly, seeing little people living under my bed. Scary. Lunesta 3 mgs usually helps me to fall asleep and I get 4-5 hours of decent sleep with this. I find the aftertaste not all that great, but can u really put a price on a good nights sleep? have been taking for 2 months good results wake often (due to dog needing out) but have no trouble returning to sleep bad taste small inconvenience price is big issue could be prohibitive | |||
