I am having a glass of wine.
:toast:

Who's joining me?! :party:

I normally don't drink wine. It gives me a different kind of buzz. Usually just makes me sleepy.

But I had one before (and that is all that the man has at his house) and it made me really relaxed.

So now I am having another one. I also have trouble sleeping so maybe this will help.

So come join me in my wine buzz!


:hi:

1. I am having a bowl of Cheerios and shredded wheat and a cup of decaf.
Pretty soon I'm going to head to bed and take an Ambien, so no wine for me.

Enjoy yours!

2. I am enjoying it.
Thanks!

So i take it that Ambien works for you? :shrug:


My mom tried it and it didn't help her and my friend tried it and it said it made her anxious. :shrug:

I get nervous with sleeping aids.

So it's just alcohol for me! :bounce:

3. It works beautifully for me. I use the Ambien CR, which helps you sleep all night
(instead of just helping you get to sleep and leaving you in the lurch in the middle of the night).

Until my doctor prescribed Ambien, I could have counted on one hand the number of good nights' sleep I'd had in ten years. Two or three years ago, I tried Trazodone, which was not good for me. Not only did I have nightmares, but I was also left feeling slightly groggy and extremely irritable the next day.

I do not take the Ambien every night, but I can almost always tell when I'm going to have one of those nights.

4. I'm worried about the side effects
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 11:37 PM by bigwillq
I usually have very pleasent dreams so I don't want anything to mess that up.

Feeling groggy isn't too much of a problem for me since I work second shift and don't really have to be at my best first thing in the morning.


My sleeping patterns didn't become a problem until I started working second shift about five years ago.

I know it's just because of that but even the nights I don't work, I am still up to ungodly hours.
