[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 145172, member: 1233"] I HATE when docs think you are "addicted" to something because you took it for a long time. "addiction" is a psychological problem. You may have a physical dependency, but htat is different than addiction. If you have never slept well, and the ambien lets you sleep, there is problem no reason to discontinue it. If you are addicted you may need frequent increases, take it inappropriately, etc..... IT sounds like ambien does for you what your body will not. I would go to a sleep clinic or get a sleep study. I don't sleep. Never have. Ambien only works for a short time for me. Same with lunesta. Won't do trazodone, can't ever wake up from it. If the medication works, why on earth would you want to stop it??? Seems strange, and I really think seeing a doctor who is more experienced in sleep issues is a necessity. Hugs, Susie Up all night with you!! [/QUOTE]
