Trouble WIth Ambien MAking Me Tired The next Day? Should I Try Lunesta? - Sleep Disorders Message Board

I started taking Ambien to get to sleep and it seems as if I am very tired the next day. In fact, I seem very tired the next day. I get to bet at about 10:30 PM (which is when I take the pill), then wake up at about 6 or so.

Lately, I have been exhausted the next day. Has anyone else had problems with Ambien?

I was thinking about trying Lunesta? Anyone tried it? How is it?

Thanks

I've tried both Lunesta and Ambien. My personal preference would have to be Ambien. Lunesta would get me to sleep, but I would wake up about two hours later and would not be able to fall back asleep. When I took Ambien, I would cut the pills in half and only take half. This would get me to sleep and would keep me asleep all night long. I didn't feel tired the next day.
