"i have been taking 5 mg of ambien for quite a while. it has, however, been making me wake up, every hour on the hour, and i eat and eat through out the night. years ago i took ambien and i would wake up and i would find crumbs in the bed and would not remember even eating anything. let&#039;s just say, i gain &#039;unneeded&#039; weight...... ;( i told my psychiatrist today that i want to stop taking it and that i wish to &#039;wean&#039; myself off of it, and she told me to &#039;just do it&#039;. you don&#039;t have to worry about weaning it. your on such a small dose.&quot; on every thing i have ever read and learned (i am a rn), you wean yourself off of any medicine. so i am going to wean myself off of the ambien.

thanks for reading."
