"i love my ambien but i have been taken it for so many years that i have to skip a few nights a week for it to be effective to me.  i wonder what would happen if i should not take it ever again and how many sleepless nights and suffering that i would go through without it.  i juice all the time with healthy greens and carrots and veges. i am trying to fight the battle all the time. i would like to ween myself off ambien but am afraid to do so rapidly.  if i could use it only a few nights a week then i would be fine.
