> I asked my pdoc multiple times if there was ANY problem with addiction with Ambien and he said, where did I read that and I said the paper with the meds and the internet, and he said, no he has a lot of patients who have used it and there is no reason to be concerned. Hrumph! It sure works well for me. (I forgot to take it one night and boy, I tossed and turned, got up wide eyed, all night) The first time I took it was the first time I had had a really good nights sleep for I dont know how long. What do you mean by "ad"?
> I don't even know if Ambien is intended for long term usage, or even day to day usage... At least that is what some of the information I have read has stated...
>
> You could try remeron, I know people who have had chronic insomia who sleep like babies on remeron, and they have been on it for a few years... It also has ad effects as well; which may be benefitial to you, I dont know... Insomnia -generally- is caused by some form of trauma that is better cured in combination w/ an ad.

> Don't ask me if there are withdrawl symptoms if you stop... But I havent read anything to this effect...
