Hey Brian,It may take a few more days to get better.It does take a while but you should start sleeping better soon.I did the ambien in my day4-11 or sobut I don't think it helps and I think it caused some anxiety for me throughout the day.Just hang in there and don't go back to the pills.This will get better.I am at day 48 off of 150+per day of oxy and I am sleeping like ten hours a night but during the first 20 or so days I did not sleep more than 3 hours per night.It won't take that long for you though.Keep posting and let us know how you are.
