"ambien is a lifesaver. no matter how tired i am, i can&#039;t fall asleep or stay asleep. with ambien i sleep all night. i have been taking it for about 3 years but i only take 5mg. i think the mistake people make is they take too much. it&#039;s not supposed to drug you and make you pass out. it allows you to fall asleep naturally. no need to increase amount.  try it"
