ambien is a very popular product used for insomnia and it can be very effective. people may experience drowsiness. they may experience kind of like a hangover feeling in the morning. they also have experienced in some cases where they have been found walking around at night or driving their cars. once again we want to make sure that patients are taking this the right way. i have patients who tell me that they are taking their medication at 7. 00 p. m. at night while they are downstairs on the couch watching tv not in bed like they are supposed to be and take it right before you go to bed. some people think too that they can take it at noontime because it's easier for them to remember. once again you have to follow the instructions; one at bedtime while you are in bed with a full glass of water. so most of these side effects can be prevented when you take the medication the right way. as a pharmacist i have no problem answering questions with patients about this. i know there is a lot of concern because of the fact that it causes a lot of drowsiness and things like that but once again if it's taken the right way. it actually can be very effective for patients.
