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 | 8/19/2002 | 5 | | 8/7/2002 |
