Just wondering. I've had trouble sleeping for like a year now. I tried Melatonin & Benadryl & neither worked. I was just in the hospital since Sunday & they gave it to me there. It worked really well. Put me to sleep within like 30 mins & I didn't wake at all during the night. My doc sent me home with a prescription tonight.

Just wondering if anyone else uses it?

If so, how long have you been on it? Do you use it every single night? Have you become dependent on it? Or did your body get used to it at all?

With the Melatonin, I started with 3mg. It worked for about a week. Then I had to take 6mg. That worked for a couple of weeks. Then I started needing 9mg and the same thing happened. :/
I used it for awhile.  It worked for the most part, but it can have really dangerous side effects.  I would get up in the middle of the night and do things I had no memory of the next day.  Some of it was just kind of funny and wtf, like putting milk in the freezer and ice cream in the bathroom, but then one night I got up and took another HANDFUL of Ambien in my sleep.  The next morning I didn't remember and thought I was fine, and tried to drive to work.  I hit one of those concrete slabs that cover sewer openings about halfway down my street, which sucked, but thank God it wasn't a kid walking to school or something. smiley: indifferent  I would never take any medication in that class again.

So just be really careful.  If you live with anyone else, get them to keep an eye on you, and maybe have them hide the pill bottle after you take it.
