Since 1986 I have been taking Zolpidem (generic for Ambien). Since I am now 77 and have been taking it for so long that the doctors say there is no point in my quitting it. So I sleep happily. My sister, on the other hand, is unable to get this Rx: the Canadian health care system is really very strict about prescribing such meds. So she tried OTC one by one and none of those so-called herbal remedies help. I suspect she drinks enough to get drunk so she can fall asleep drunk.
