MedHelp Member's Question

insomnia

by gagy, May 05, 2008 07:27PM

I am a 65 yr old woman taking 10 mg of ambien every night. It gives me about 3 hrs of sleep but otherwise I don't sleep more than 1/2 hour at a time. Any suggestions which might work better? Thanks, Gagy

have you tried the simple things like sleeping or relaxing teas? or the extended release of ambien to keep you asleep longer (ask the doc) good luck
