"i was diagnosed with chronic insomnia about 5 months ago. doctor prescribed ambien. it works wonders. i discovered that for me, once i take it, i cannot communicate on any social media websites, because the next day when i go back and read what i wrote, it&#039;s a bunch of gibberish. my routine, i take an ambien, get in the bed and read a little, before i know it, i&#039;m waking up in the morning not realizing i even feel asleep. my only issue is, the pills are prescribed in bottles of 21 pills, one bottle with two additional refills. if i don&#039;t schedule my follow - up sleep appointment right, i&#039;ll be stuck with a few days with no medicine like i am now while typing this, lol. it is after 12 am and i&#039;m wide awake."
