I haven't started the Ambien again. I have had things going in the daytime that I don't want the hangover feeling.

Kathy, I have the stomach problems also. I have so much trouble with meds, I'd just rather not try them. I get my stomach on track and then somehow I get it messed up again even on my stomach meds so I stay away from most meds.

Debby, you are right on the Tylenol. I was taking it at times and again my Dr. said it caused liver problems and I did hear it on tv. I thought at one time it was the safest to take.

I had to be up at 4 this morning so I didn't dare try anything but I wake up about every hour. I hate it.

I will ask my Dr. about the Benedryl if I can't get past this feeling with the Ambien. I honestly think I tried Ambien years ago and it did nothing for me. That was before I got some of my pain level down.

Thanks to all for the help.

Ada
