"after the birth of my child, i had a difficult time sleeping.  the tireder i got the less i could sleep.  my ob gave me ambien to help me get sleep.  at first i was concerned but i hadn&#039;t slept in days so my husband promised to listen for the baby.   i have to say, without this medicine, i would never have made it through my insomnia.  i would advise that if you take this drug, you let a loved one know so they can look out for you.  i have tried to do a few stupid things while on this drug, like put stupid things on facebook and emailing people stupid things.  each time, my husband stopped me......you cannot use this medicine without a wing man!"
