Looks like some kind of hippie soy sauce. Each soybean is individually coddled and only goes into the batch when IT’S ready. No judgments.
Oh dear. Am I bad person for giggling at this?
I think I remember you posting this tale once before.
Getting back into the “didn’t work for me”… yes, stress or other issues can certainly overwhelm the drug, however strong it is. A couple of years ago, I was having severe itching related to a gallbladder attack, and hadn’t slept more than a few minutes in 36 hours. So I took a Sonata, and was awake again within 3 hours.
And, foolishly, I didn’t put the computer away and try to go to sleep as soon as I took the Sonata. It’d never been a problem before, it simply doesn’t make me go night-night that suddenly, but apparently on top of 36 hours of sleep deprivation, it can hit a little harder than usual.
Turns out, I’m a “happy drunk” and like to share the joke with those around me. Fortunately the email I sent (to a large email list) wasn’t too bad. :eek::smack:.
In answer to your question…I take 10 MG and it works great…5 MG will work for some people but in either case it should be taken on an empty stomach for best results…Digestion will slow down effects. But I have been taking it for almost four years on an almost every night basis with no side effects, unless the second head on my shoulder should be something to be concerned about!..Just kidding of course
It used to work for me, but not any longer. When it was working, I’d take it maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I hadn’t taken it for probably 7 or 8 months and I tried some the other night. It almost did just the opposite.
Musta worked on this thread, it slept for almost a year!
I had the identical experience. It was awful. Told my dr. and he recommended doubling to 10 mg. but I’m too afraid of having a night like that again (half asleep-half awake all night long:mad:) Unisom works far far better!
I take Ambien the same dosage as you. I only take it as needed because I don’t want a dependency. It almost always works and I sleep well but sometimes I awake either early morning or the middle of the night and can’t sleep. I made the mistake of drinking a very moderate amount of wine with it and I totally blacked out. I have to make sure I am in a safe place because my boyfriend says I stumble a little. No heavy machinery! lol
