has anyone had problems with staying asleep on ambien cr

[tu madre]

I take ambien cr every night about an hour before bedtime! I fall asleep really fast but only sleep from about 10 to 2 am and have a hard time going back to sleep, if you have this problem what have you taken to keep you asleep all night?

Just answered something similar for someone else. The same message -see your doctor. You may need to see a sleep specialist to find out exactly what is causing the problem. It could be as serious as apnea or as minor as snoring or a change in late evening diet. Ambien is very addicting and my doctor is leery of it. I don't know your age, but I am afraid of Ambien and I take a LOT of meds considering I have cancer, diabetes, neuropathy, deep vein thrombosis, etc, etc. I have the same problem and unfortunately, me and my doctors have yet to come up with the solution. With the encyclopedia of illnesses I have, being unable to sleep is relatively minor. For others (like you maybe), it is serious and needs to be looked into. Best wishes to you for finding a solution that works for you.
