"ambien has been a lifesaver for me.  i have had insomnia since i was a teen, and ambien has been the only medication i have used that works for me.

there are plenty of &quot;strange&quot; things that can happen if you try to do things between the time you take the medication and onset.  

important:  if you are going to take ambien, be in bed, ready to sleep.  it takes effect very quickly.

great medication for insomnia!"
