Spouse and brother have both used ambien for years with absolutely no side effects. It is the regular ambien and not ambien cr--if that makes a difference. I do know that both visit physicians on regular basis for monitoring of the prescription and spouse can usually take 1/2 of the prescribed ambien pill for sleep instead of the whole pill. Maybe that makes a difference as well. I tried 1/2 once and did not find sleep to be peaceful. But, I do not function well with any type of sleeping pill, anesthesia, or gas at the dentist, even. Something about being in control, maybe? But, spouse and brother both swear by ambien and as I mentioned, have used it for years. Medicine can affect people in many ways, you just never know!
