Ambien is a good sleep aid...it worked wonders for me...unfortunately it has a side-effect that I found extremely unpleasant.....nightmares. When I mentioned this to my physician he explained that this was a fairly common side effect after extended use and since the nightmares were disrupting my sleep it was pointless to continue with the drug. For me these nightmares were extremely violent and disturbing. I am not saying don't try the drug, because things work differently for everyone. Just be alert to this side effect.
