Anniesmom,

I started having sleep problems after being diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer, and going through some treatment in 2009/10. I was given ambian to take in the hospital, which seemed to work, but I’ve been taking it since except currently. Now I’m in a nursing rehab center for a fractured hip, and take pain meds for my leg, which makes me tired, so I cut out the sleep meds. I do wake up once a night, but go right back to sleep most often.

There’s an otc vitamin, forget the name, I take sometimes when I run out of ambian, but it knocks me out even more than the prescription meds.

I hope this helps
