Ambien works very well. I'm authorized to take between 5 to 15 mg depending on how unsleepy I am. I rarely need 15 but when I do take that much it works just that much faster. There is no hangover in the morning. However, I am told that if I talk to someone on the phone 30 minutes after I take them it sounds like I'm drunk. Since I live along I did not realize that--the dog never mentioned it. So I just don't talk on the phone after I take my meds. I also take Melatonin at night which I think helps smooth things out naturally. When I have to take 15 mg a night very many nights in a row I start sleepwalking and don't remember what I've done.For instance I've cleaned the kitchen and also eaten things I did not recall eating. So I try to keep the dosage down to 10 at the most. I've been taking it for 3 years and have not built up a tolerance, needed no increase in dosage. For me, Ambien is my little sandman.
