   I’ve been taking Ambien for years, and haven’t found a way to get off it sucessfully. I did have a horrible time getting off of Effexor (it felt like what it would be like to detox off of crack). The only thing that enabled me to survive was a natural supplement I bought at Whole Foods. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was a small blue vial and there were a lot of them together and each one was a remedy for some sort of ailment. The one I got was for nasua (my main compaint) and for some reason it minimized all of my other symptoms. I’m not sure this one would work for you, but I’m sure they have something for sleeping issues or whatever it is when you go off Ambien. I’ve just decided to embrace my life on Ambien and I’m now blogging about it.

   Trust me…I’ve been on Ambien for years. I’ve given up trying to fight it…I just embrace it! I’ve even written a blog about my ambien adventures. (It’s called “Ambien Nights”)

   Good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.
