I started taking it because I have restless legs. I'm sorry you had trouble with it, but it helps me get some sleep, more than I would without it. I started taking another medicine for them about 2 years ago. I wish I could stop taking ambien, but I'm probably dependent by now.

I think any of the medicine or herbs or other things we can use to feel better will work for some people, but not others. If our fingerprints are unique, why not the rest of our bodies?
