I agree, that stuff is going to alter your brain chemistry and is overkill just for insomnia, like killing a fly with a machine gun.......make that a nuclear bomb.
I advice you get a second opinion. Suggestion, get Ambien in the strongest dose and cut it in half for the rest of the month so you can take it every day.
Omoba, I have a story to tell about Ambien.

I took it when I was first having "issues" and my kids said I did the oddest things. Mind you, my SO used to wake me up in the middle of the night screaming and shouting about one thing or another so I had a hard time sleeping through the night.
One thing I did was get in the car with my daughter to buy Hagen Daas ice cream at the pharmacy. She said I ate the ice cream with chopsticks and asked her to drive me around a new subdivision to pick out my dream house. She didn't know what was going on, but after several weird events like this one, they decided that I should not be left alone while taking Ambien. I also ate a bag of the mini snickers bars during the night then woke up in the morning demanding to know who threw candy wrappers at me during the night.
Woa,, if you take Ambien Uno make sure you are not alone until you know how your body will react. Lots of hugs
Uno, the story had me dyin with laughter over here, too! ROFL!!! Chispas, PLEASE stay away from the Ambien.

Now, this is what I was talkin' about. It is funny how this drug affects people in such different ways. That middle-of-the-night eating thing was the strangest feeling in the morning.
Sorry, honestly, I laughed at the crumbs all over your lips, too.
