    Been on ambien 10mg for 10 yrs from time to time itâ??s doesnâ??t work so I asked my dr to give me ambien cr. The first week it was okay Iâ??m now on week 3 and Iâ??m so sleep deprived. Not only is it not working alone but not even with 20 mg of melontonin. I take it at 8 and still awake at 1 am and not sleep thru the night when I do sleep.

    Got to sleep, but this drug does not interact well with cold medications. I also felt sick to my stomach when I woke up.

    Been on this for a week now, have been diagnosed with severe insomnia and the regular ambien was only giving me about 2-3 hours of sleep a night so MD switched me to this. First night, i got about 4 weird hours of sleep with odd dreams. Now i am back to 2-3 hours of sleep. Anyone else have it just not work for them?

    Save your money Ambien 10 mg works twice as fast as Ambien CR It will take you a least 2 hours to work after you take it.And still get the same amount of sleep so don't waste your extra money on something that isn't going to work. Take the 10 mg of ambien you will fall asleep faster and will get 7- 8 hours of sleep and you are saving money.
