Hi guys, I had a question.
About 3 years ago, I lost a child due to a lengthy illness. Well, after a few months of waking up at multiple times throughout the night (it coincided with when I would have to get up to administer his medicene), I was prescribed Ambien. I eventually became dependant on it and could not sleep at all without taking it.
After a while, I decided that I had taken it long enough and planned to stop. But in November of last year, I was hit with divorce papers and had my house put up for sale, all within one week. I never saw it coming.
Needless to say, I did not even care about trying to stop the Ambien after that. Now I think I am ready.
What would be the best recommendation to try and wean myself off of this stuff?
Not trying to unload my problems, but figured a quick synopsis of why I was taking it would help.
Thanks for any comments
