"i have been taking ambien for 2 years now for insomnia and trouble sleeping.  it does make you tired, but you also feel really good and happy.  i would take it and an hour later, not remember anything. also, i would still wake up every hour. it helped me fall asleep, but not stay asleep.  recently, i over dosed on ambien.  that is what really woke me up.  this is not for me.  i have been prescribed seroquel for my sleeping problems and this is wonderful. i have no more sleepwalking and i remember everything."
