"i have been using ambien for a few years. i have never been able to sleep through the night. ambien works well. i have had a couple strange experiences however. recently my wife found out she was a serious diabetic so we have really changed our lifestyle, you know, whole foods, fresh and raw fruits and veggies etc. i have dropped several pounds just eating well and less. the other night i thought i would make a healthy spam sandwich; i used dave&#039;s killer bread, low fat mozzarella and flaxseeds. wife said i was really proud of my creation; don&#039;t remember a thing."
