I was taking advil PM and having the same problem..not being able to stay asleep..this after a few vics during the day, 2mg of Ativan and a couple advil PMs at bedtime.  I'd go right to sleep and bling..wide awake at 4AM.  Thus, ambien.  

I never understood those tylenol PM ads..take a couple and leap out of bed in the AM and run a few miles, paint the house, mow the lawn and everythng is  wonderful..heck,
I could bearly get out of bed and into the shower after taking them even WITHOUT
the vics/ativan, etc.

i've tried lunesta and ambien...not my favorites.  tylenol p.m. still works for me.  from what i hear ppl say, the tylenol p.m. gives them a hangover the next day but that has never happened to me.  i don't have any trouble falling to sleep...usually within 3 minutes of hitting the pillow...seriously...i just can't stay asleep.

I take it occasionaly.  My wife has a script and occasionally when I can't sleep I'll borrow one from her.  I do not like the taste..sometimes it takes 24 hours to get rid of it.  I recently got my own script (from my doctor) for ambien which I much prefer if simply for the lack of taste.  They both do a good number on knocking me out rather quickly.  I 
almost have to be in bed when I take it.  I've actually been talking to my wife and just 
gone right to sleep.  I used to have hallucinations with ambien but haven't noticed it
lately.

I'm hoping it will help as I try to kick my 6-7 vic 75/day habit.  Not as severe as some
folks in here, but I know I need to get off 'em.  And I'm trying.  I'm also dealing with 
some moderate depression/anxiety (probably vic related) and take ativan a couple times /day.

So, anyway..Lunesta works..just a horrible taste (for me and others)
