| Add Zaleplon review The first two nights I took it I was awake all night. It seemed to make me feel revved up - not relaxed to sleep. I tried it for two more nights - finally getting 4 hrs of sleep which is not enough for me to function properly the next day I asked my doctor to return to me to my previous medication which had me sleeping through the night and feeling refreshed and awake the next morning. This drug did not work at all for me, and I was taking 20mg at night at least a half hour before going to bed. Didn't matter how long before bed I took it, it didn't work. Have tried MANY different drugs to try to sleep, to no avail. I'm hoping my doc will prescribe a different drug. | Add Zolpidem review I feel I have an addiction to this medication Doesn't help me to go to sleep at all. Might help me stay asleep if I can finally doze off. Well, I have to admit that they make my evenings quite fun in many ways. I would love to always have them by my side to enjoy. You have a good docs name and #.....tetetehetehe....wiggle wiggle smile and giggle... Well ill take another ambien and tune in later.Nity Nite I wake up after one or two hours when I don't take zolpidem and have trouble getting back to sleep. I try to avoid taking it for more than 3 days in a row. I use a 5mg dose. Helps me to go to sleep quickly!!! | |||
