I have a question that's primarily for Steph: Is there any reason Ambien CR should work worse than normal Ambien? I swear I'm getting less sleep with it than before.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Your body might not like it. I know that's not a science-y answer, but it's just a weird pharmacological thing that some drugs (or some formulations of drugs) do not play well with some people.
It's possible that because it's a CR formulation, which means it releases drug in a continuous manner, that you aren't getting *enough* drug when you need it. Like, maybe you need more at the beginning of your sleep cycle, but since the CR formulation doles it out over a span of time, you aren't getting enough.
That's just a guess, though. I'm sure you are far from alone. It's so frustrating that a given drug won't work the same in different people.

Ugh. Thanks. I switched over to it hoping it would get me to sleep through the night better, but I'm not, even slightly. And falling asleep is difficult unless I exhaust myself. And it has more active ingredients than the normal Ambien I was on.
I don't even want to bother finishing this bottle. I want to go back to my old prescription.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita, my MiL had the same problem with the CR so it's definitely not just you.
That bombing/shooting in Norway is making me feel sick. Apart from the heartache of thinking about the loss of so many lives, especially so many young lives, I am so scared that someone is going to think it's a good idea and try to do it here. Which is a creepy level of paranoia. I know. I am trying to repress it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Jesus, they just found Amy Winehouse dead in her apartment.

I just learned from Fay, via Twitter, that Amy Winehouse has died.
Shocking, but not surprising.

Holy... I don't even know what to say. That's just awful. Jesus, those poor kids.
This is exactly my thinking. What a travesty.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm so sorry to hear the news about Amy Winehouse, not that it's a shock -- there is always a hope that an addict can find their way to recovery.
