IMPORTANT - as efrahim says, be careful with ambien and all sleeping meds,

if you read the data, it says this stuff should only be used for 10 days.
But the docs prescribe and refill it.

I had cancer, bad treatments, and couldn't sleep. After taking this for a month at 1/2 dose, I started having dizzy spells and fainted and hit the floor a couple of times, and broke a rib.

And it takes awhile (weeks) for the side effects to stop. Be very careful out there.
