Ambien vs Melatonin

AmbienAmbien MelatoninMelatonin
Zolpidem is used to treat sleep problems (insomnia) in adults. If you have trouble falling asleep, it helps you fall asleep faster, so you can get a better night's rest. Zolpidem belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect.Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body. Melatonin used as medicine is usually made synthetically in a laboratory. It is most commonly available in pill form, but melatonin is also available in forms that can be placed in the cheek or under the tongue. This allows the melatonin to be absorbed directly into the body. People use melatonin to adjust the body’s internal clock. It is used for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycles in people whose daily work schedule changes (shift-work disorder), and for helping blind people establish a day and night cycle.

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!!!!

Melatonin does help me to sleep but I am having a problem with my top number for my blood pressure. It is in the 50 and 60s. Can the melatonin be causing this?

I try not to take it too frequently for precaution; however, I do try to take maybe 3-5 times a week at best.

Started taking 3 mg long ago, and it worked. Have reduced dosage to about 5/6 mg with no loss of effect. Lifetime insomniac, and this has worked wonders, but I've been taking it for a long time and am having issues with fatigue in daytime and will be trying to go for some time without.
