What happens if you don't get 7-8 hours of sleep on Ambien?

Question: I have been taking it for a long period of time and i am starting to be immune to its effects. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I just realized what time it is and I have to get up at 7:30. That wont be enough sleep. But, since it isnt helping me to fall asleep, will it really make a difference in keeping me asleep?

Answers:
It sounds like you've built up a tolerance. You need to tell your Dr and get your meds changed.

As far as whether or not it will keep you asleep for 7-8 hours even though it takes you a long time to fall asleep - I'm no expert but I wouldn't think so. I'd guess that it wears off after the 7-8 hours. You might be groggy in the morning though.

I became immune to ambien as well. When its not working, its not working. I don't think its going to matter how much sleep you get. Try talking to your doctor about lunesta.

Your on sleeping tablets which lose thier effect after a couple of weeks. Now you have to wean your self off to prevent with-drawl symptoms.

If you are on any longer, you will get addicted to them.
