But instead of simply prescribing something else for the people who are having problems, they will deny the millions of people who don't have problems with Ambien. Its the American way these days.
I've taken Ambien about 5 times total. Never had any side effects, no odd reactions. Very smooth sleep aid, for me, for very short term.
On the other hand, I had trazadone 25 (half the usual dose) ONCE and it made me feel like I was completely drunk. It was such an unpleasant feeling, I stayed awake until it wore off.
Horrible.
