> I never expected there to be so much controversy and anger generated by my question. Frankly, the differing opinions don't help me much. Right now I am taking 10mg of ambien at night that my husband gives me and 100mg of Seroquel that my psych prescribed for sleep (although she has never known about my ambien problem). I seem to be sleeping although I still get terrified at night that I won't sleep. My biggest problem now, though, is fighting the craving to take the ambien during the day to "zone" out when I do not want to deal with life. But as long as I do not have any of the med, I will have to come up with coping ways to deal with the cravings. I hope I can. WhatI hoped to get from this group was support---it does not matter what anyone thinks about ambien's addictivenes--for me, I know it is.My other biggest fear now also is how to tell the truth to my therapist and psyc. dr next week--I want to be a good person and hate having to admit how much I have been lying
Dona;
It is good that I hear from you and that you are looking for support. I can only tell you my experiance. I had your craving also. I know how you are sufffering. I believe that when a person takes a step in a direction , that they can go the rest of the way. You can overcome. Keep talking on this board, for if two heads are better than one, then 1000 heads are better than 2.
