http://www.medications.com/effect/view/31902 I have been taking ambien for about five years. I have experimented with 5mg, 10mg and ambien CR, and mixing small doses (5mg or less) with one Advil PM. Mixing the two worked very well for a while. All I want is to feel rested and sharp during the day.

I took 10 mgs, as 5 mgs did not work long for me. I would sleep walk, have horrible dreams, eat in bed, get up and do things and not remember but find things different than when I went http://www.medications.com/effect/view/31902?item=9974
