Insomnia sucks

Agreed, it sucks. I've tried AmbianCR and it seems to work pretty well without any noticeable after effects.

I've been prescribed Ambien and Sonata in the past, and am currently on AmbienCR. Ambien would knock me out for longer periods of time (~8 hours), which would be a problem since if I only had 5 or 6 hours to sleep, I'd be borderline dysfunctional for a couple hours after waking up. Sonata wouldn't knock me out as well, not for as long (~4 hours) and was another decent option to have. I'm not liking AmbienCR much thus far. Since it's time released, I don't get the initial rush that KO's me. It takes much longer to fall asleep initially.

However, insomnia varies a hell of a lot, so your mileage might vary.

That's why you take the Ambien CR an hour or two before you want to go to sleep. By the time you are ready to hit the sack, you should have enough Ambien in your system.

Edit: 300th post today.

I'd trade your insomnia for my having to work graveyard shifts for a week and a half.
