when i did resort to ambien at 3 or even 5am, i only took like 1-3mgs. so yeah, i was a little groggy but not entirely high on it.
i'm realy loving the melatonin...i still wake up a lot, but i don't feel wide awake when i wake up at 3 or 5am, and have been able to get back to sleep pretty quickly. i take 3mgs before bed and another 3mgs the first time i wake up at 1 or 2.
good luck. if pcs weren't bad enough, lack of sleep can make you crazy, absolutely crazy.

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
