> I used Ambien for 10 days straight and by the 7th day, my tolerance had already increased. I was taking another 10-day medication that I couldn't mix with my Trazadone. I'm a firm believer in taking Traz regularly for sleeping problems. It works wonders.

> Hi,
I wholehartedly agree with KimberlyDi on the Trazadone. That Ambian can be nasty stuff. I too had not only vivid hallucinations, but terrible nightmares on only one dose. Also, try warm milk. It is an old fashioned remedy, but has a bicochemical fact behind it. It encourages the release of tryptophane, which can be a natural sleep inducer. MamaB
