[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 63490, member: 2211"] My sister takes Ambien. When she started taking it she slowly began gaining weight and really wasn't making the connection between the drug and all the empty bowls of half finished ice cream and cereal under her bed! She was sleep eating. Seriously. Sometimes she would wake up and find that someone had made an elaborate three course dinner of chicken over night in her kitchen, complete with salads, main course, dessert and wine! by the way, the size of the bowls of ice cream sundaes were the same bowls she used for family sized salads. She won't tell her DR because she needs something to sleep - if she didn't at least have the ambien, she'd have lost about 6 years worth of sleep by now. I suggested Lunesta. The side effects associated with Ambien do not generally occur with Lunesta. The only downside of Lunesta is a slight metallic taste in your mouth upon waking. But just brush your teeth and it's all good. I have used xanax to help me sleep. It's not so much staying asleep that's my problem as it is turning off my brain and falling asleep and that's where xanax helped me. I would strongly suggest that you speak with your dr about this and see if there is not a better medication for you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
