 5  trouble sleeping No side effects. However, I recognize the fact that I am dependent upon this drug. I do not abuse it and after four years still take only 1 tablet. When I do not take Ambien, I have horrific nightmares. I take it regularly every night. I do know why they advise taking Ambien for a short time because it is difficult if not impossible to come off of it. But it continues to help me to sleep and to feel rested. Actually, I do not know if I will ever be able to stop taking this drug. F 67 4 years
