I was only adding a bit of very general information about Ambien in response to another poster who thankfully didn't seem to be the least bit offended by my reply.

For anyone else interested here is NIH's take on Ambien.

Very useful info on Ambien that is updated. I didn't know they now had a spray that you spray on your tongue! And sublingual tablets for middle of the night sleep problems.

What is fairly new (past year announced by FDA) that I learned from my doctor is that women metabolize Ambien more slowly. Thus I guess now they are suggesting starting with 5 mg and not 10 mg for women.

Anyhow, I think my depression has improved after lowering the dose of lorazepam. Looking forward to getting completely off benzos!
