i have taken regular ambien but found that i need the CR...it is much more effective in keeping me asleep, which is, ofcourse, it's job! i need it to help me sleep so i can avoid feeling the lumbar spine pain i live with. funny how my "late" internist didn't have ANY problem with the fact that i am , essentially, "addicted" to ambien CR .....very interesting. (by addicted i just mean i do take it every night...and would have to really work at it to not "need" it....) |
