>I take Ambien 10mg at night,because most of my pain is in the evening. It does make a huge difference for me,but I also suffer with horrible insomnia. It is fast acting,but one word of warning. I have had a few terrible nightmare's where I have woken up screaming since I started taking it. I don't know if this is because of the medication or my own psyche.
