My neurologist has prescribed a sleeping pill called Ambien (10 mg) that works miracles for me with no apparent after effect. I use Ambien nightly. On three separate, non-consecutive occassions I THOUGHT I had taken my Ambien and did not fall asleep till 8 am only to discover my pill still on the night table the following morning. It works for me, perhaps it will work for your friend. | Sid Roberts [log in to unmask] | | Youngstown State History Department | | University Youngstown, OH 44555 |
