Ambien Help

Posted by Desperate Mom on July 31, 2003 at 12:01:40:

I have been taking Ambien for a few weeks now. Can anyone help with the following questions?
Why does it not work some nights?
I can take half an Ambien most nights and sleep perfectly fine. However, once or twice a week I have to take the entire pill to get relief. Does anyone know why it is so inconsistent? Is there something I should be doing or not doing to get the most of it. I know that people say your body becomes tolerant of the drug, but then I am able to take half a pill most nights. Yet, there are those nights where I have to take the whole thing.
One night the whole thing didn't even work. At 1 am, I ended up taking another half. But then I was able to take half the next night. What is happening, why am I getting crazy results?
