Good for you. Ambien made me psychotic, popping up to 10x 10mg at night. For a week I was extremely paranoid and major threatening hallucinations. Im on Effexor and Trazadone now, still cant sleep. Life is very tough for me. I am looking forward to when my body readjusts from 11 yrs of pot smoking, and many years of booze , meth, ecstasy (400 approx. in 1 yr), cocaine (sometimes 1-4 eightballs a night). I've been clean and I am optimistic of staying that way. Take Care!
> Hi,
> Stay clear of the Ambian, it is addicting. I took it for a week, it was horrible. I then got a new Dr. and took Trazadone, which definitly worked. I was on it for about 6 months, and gradually weened my self off. It was prescibed to help with my sleep and I only took it at night. I also went through Zoloft and Wellbutrin, till I was prescibed Effexor which cured my anxiety and depression, along with pyschotherapy. I am still on Effexor, and see my therapist once a month.
