Does anyone else still have insomnia while taking ambien cr?
Ambien CR is a great sleep aid but as I understand it if your body is not ready to sleep, it won’t sleep. I’ve also been told that it can act the opposite of a sleep aid if you are sick. I’ve had both happen. In other words, the body is programmed to sleep so many hours and after that the Ambien CR does not work. It could also be that the dose you are taking is not strong enough. My doctor prescribed the lowest dose possible and when that didn’t work, upped it but reluctantly. He felt is was important for me to sleep and the stress of not sleeping was upping my blood pressure to dangerous levels. I’d talk to the prescribing doctor to decide what you should do. Good luck.
