"i&#039;ve been on ambien for 2 years now and i wouldn&#039;t have it any other way.  i&#039;ve been an insomniac all my life and ambien is a miracle cure.  my husband and kids absolutely hate it because they say i&#039;m a totally different person when i&#039;m on it. i never have recollection of anything and i don&#039;t think it&#039;s fair that they blame me for something i don&#039;t even know i&#039;m doing.  all i know is the sleep is excellent and if you&#039;re considering this medicine it&#039;s good to have someone nearby who&#039;s a light sleeper."
