"ambien was a great for me. i suffer from spine damage and pain wakes me. sleep studies found i got 2 hrs of rem sleep. ambien made this 5 and 6 hrs rem sleep. from this i cut my pain meds in half. my life got better and i went back to work. medicine is not designed for long term use, yet i had to. this was only way i could sleep. 
i started with depression problems. dr gave other medicines and it only made me worse. ask for a sleep medicine change to lunesta. in a week my depression was gone.
