yes Mari, ambien is like a benzo and acts on the same recepor sites...Gamma sites if I remember correctly.
I talked with hubby about it and we decided to wait until aafter the school is done for the semester as he will be off and if I am not sleeping well, I won't bother him since he won't have to get up early...and more importantly...he will be around to help monitor me....I am going to talk with my pdoc about this and see if she will prescribe a lower dose for me.
I hate to think of restarting a benzo to get off the sleeping pill but am open to about anything. $ years ago I was not taking anything to sleep....I need to get back to that.
Don't know if I shared this with you but had an experience while on the ambien, took it and had a very agressive response...I know my fault for taking it and not going to bed right away....I became a crazy woman with a knife....this happened at a camp ground a couple of months ago...not a good scene....it was awful.
thanks mari
