> Problem: because of the very short half-life of Ambien (Sonata also) I can GET to sleep, but wake up about 4 hours later, and then wake, sleep on about a one hour cycle the rest of the night.
Hi Elizabeth. So nice to 'have' you back at PB!
Please allow me to put forth that it is my experience that 5mg Ambien + .5mg Xanax is better than 10mg Ambien, so I would suggest 10mg Ambien + .5mg Xanax may be better than 20mg Ambien, so 2x10mg Ambien + 2x.5mg Xanax would 'defeat' even Your Ladyship's worst insomnias... Why not just give it a shot?
And if it is URGED that this method does not improve on the old one, then the answer is by pointing out that 10 mg Ambien + a 'certain' (small, take care kid!) amount of alcohol will be much better (as far as fighting insomnia is concerned) than 20 mg Ambien, and another 10mg Ambien after 4 hours (without any alcohol this time) will put to sleep even insomnia itself for the next 4+ hours. Just thinking aloud... And please don't forget to drink a 'wide-awake' coffee at wake up (or, better still, 5mg d-1-phenyl-2-aminopropane sulfate!).Yours,
Iago
