My mom's service was today. I'd like to be comatose tonight. Not very strong of me, I know- but it is what it is. Does this stuff work pretty well? I've been sleeping like crap since she died.
I used to take it - I loved it because within 5 minutes of taking it it was like someone hit me over the head with a hammer. Slept niiiice. Only drawback was rebound insomnia afterwards.

My only problem w/ it was the bad aftertaste, and the fact that my insurance doesn't cover it. So I've been taking ambien for over a year and a half now.
And, I don't think you are weak for taking it to get some sleep, your mom died. You deserve some sleep!!
You may want to just take a half. It will knock you out. Sometimes I just take 1/4. I wish I had this when my mom passed away. If you take it for a while like a week once you stop you will have trouble falling asleep.
Loosing a parent doesn't get any easier but it does get more tolerable. Hugs.

I have no experience with it. I have taken OTC sleep aids in the past when I need help. We call it the butterfly medicine from the commericals.
I have been thinking about you. ((Hugs))
