"hi- 43 year old female with chronic pain &amp; insomnia. for whatever reason, ambien worked for me quite well a decade ago. today, it no longer works. i even had a dna rest done to see if i metabolize this medicine differently, but it was &quot;normal&quot;.  i do not go into a deep sleep, ever. rather, i take many &quot;naps&quot;, constantly dreaming-meaning i never get out of rem, so i&#039;m constantly exhausted. i, too, have tried every other product on the market (prescription) to no avail. ten years ago, i&#039;d have given it a solid 8.

best wishes to all of you who suffer from this horrible condition, especially those with other conditions. lack of sleep certainly exacerbates what you&#039;re body is already dealing with. good luck..."
