"i was put on ambien because of my anxiety and depression, i wasn&#039;t able to sleep more than an hour or 2 a night. i took the ambien 5mg for about a week and i had horrible indigestion the whole time and on top of that i still only slept 4-5 hours a night tops. and i have been off them for almost a week and i&#039;m still having horrible stomach pains and possibly a swollen liver."
