"for the first time i can get to sleep every night.  it usually gives me about 5 hours of sleep, and if i wake up and take about 0.15 klonopin, i can go back to sleep for another 3 hours.  feel rested for the first time in years!  i don&#039;t take it until i am absolutely ready to lay down in bed, then lay down and think happy thoughts to carry with me to dream land.  previously, due to bipolar insomnia,  i would take tons of nyquil, benadryl, sominex, l-tyrosine, melatonin that only gave me a few hours sleep and i&#039;d wake up and take more pills. for years i couldn&#039;t sleep in a bed but would wander through the house at night trying to get comfortable on the floor, etc. as my husband just bumping me would wake me up.  i thank you ambien!"
