Hi Ladies!!!!
I haven't written anything lately. Last Friday evening I started on a really bad flare. It is a little nit better. But whew!!! It came on like a mac truck. Couldn't walk or anything. I finally called the doc b/c I couldn't sleep. Rx's Ambian.
First off my husband and I didn't realize to take and then go lay in bed right away!! It scared him. B/c immediately I almost passed out. I was trying to eat a bowl of cereal and wam!!! Had to stagger to my room. Slept all night with very little hangover. NExt time I'll only take half and then go go staight to bed no messing around.
I mean I slept all night!!!!!
Hope you all are good

Deena,

I hope you let us know if the extra sleep helps you get rid of your flare.

Best wishes.

This med made me very depressed. Also there have been problems with people getting up during the night and cooking or driving, etc. Be very careful with this med if you take it all.

Ambien never did anything for me when I was taking it. I usually would still be awake an hour or so later.

I use it after everything else fails. But I cut the pill in half because I felt "hung over" the next morning. I take 5 mg. and have never had any problems with it. But I'm so sleep deprived I could feel "foggy" if I took the Ambien or not.
