Ambien Zolpidem Tartrate Medication Review

My doctor prescribed ambien (zolpidem for generic) as I developed insomnia after a year of have my son.  I have always been a very active, healthy. About a year in I started developing neck pain.  Thought nothing of it. I thought it was from stress or the fact that I'm not getting any younger......2 years passed and the pain was getting extreme.  I was having cervial injections, several addictive narcotics prescribed to me, even trips to the E.R!!!!!!  This pain made me so depressed and I knew that I needed to stop taking all the pain meds.  So after 3 years of chronic pain my husband and I wanted to start for another child.  I thought it was crazzzzy at the time because of my pain. But instead it was a blessing. My O.B. instructed to discontinue the ambien, but I could take vicodin as needed, which I did.  It wasn't until about 3 days of stopping the Ambiem that I was almost pain-free!!!  Could it be??  I couldn't belive it!  Sure enough a week went by and I could get out of bed with no stiffness and no pain!!!  I Googled this subject and sure enough, there are many people out there that has suffered the same pain from Ambien.  It can cause severe muscle cramping Some people experience it in there lower back.

So be aware of AMBIEN and PAIN!!!>>>> It ruined my life for 3 years!!!
