"i had chronic insomnia and the doctor tried ambien, lunesta, and some other hypnotic which the name escapes me right now. those drugs (for me anyway) are worthless. i would get up in morning and find a mess in kitchen, (i live alone) and no memory of fixing food. furthermore, began having terrible dreams/nightmares. so doctor tried me on dalmane, he said it has been on market for many years. it worked great. no &#039;hangover&#039;. slept 6 hours straight for first time in months."
