Donna--sleep problems

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was taking Ambien and it worked great in the beginning. I would sleep and

sleep deeply, and wake up feeling no hangover effects, but over a short period

of time I had to keep increasing the medication to get the same effect.

Eventually, I increased it too much and didn't realize it and I was told I was

taking a toxic dose and it was causing some of the symptoms I was attributing to

other things. I forget what those were as I stopped taking it over a year

ago. I had a hard time stopping it but not for long.

I am getting just as good a result with the Melatonin and have been taking

that for 5 months with no problem at the same dose.

I believe it is Ambien that with long term use can cause prostrate

problems in men too. I think that is the same drug that is in Tylenol

PM. My brother had been taking Tylenol PM for a long time and developed

prostrate problems. Luckily, they caught it in time and he stopped the

Tylenol PM and his problems resolved. The doctor said a lot of men

aren't that lucky.
