| 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 Restoril review I wish my doctor would have prescribed this one to me a long time ago. I have tried all of the ones advertized on TV but none of them have worked. Thank goodness I kept pushing for something to help! After using Ambien (did nothing) and Seroquel (worked wonders but caused Low QT rhythyms in my heart???), I found Restorial 30 mg. works quite well. Although I must agree with other reviewers in that it doesn't put me out immediately, but when I am ready to go to sleep, I am ABLE to go to sleep. And that, my friends, is the greatest gift of all. YOu know how it is, up alllll night, finally watching the World News Now tv broadcast, which they advertise to insomniacs. Good Lord!!!! I need more sleep than that..... I have been taking restoril 30mgs, for months now. It helps alot,but not all the time.I usually sleep for about 4 hrs when i really try to go to sleep. | |||
