"i suffer from insomnia pretty bad. i can fall asleep easily but by 1 or 1:30, i&#039;m wide awake. i worked in a bakery for 8 years and recently had to quit, i couldn&#039;t function like a normal person anymore. i saw several doctors and psychiatrists, all who at one point or another, prescribed me ambien. i had some pretty weird episodes on this medicine. i would get up and rearrange cabinets, naked, in the middle of the night.  my husband got very upset with me. i found a great doctor who finally diagnosed me with bipolar ii, with a little ocd and depression. my medicines are where i like them and he prescribed me lunesta. this is a much better sleep aid and i am finally sleeping a full night."
