Taking any psychotropic drug like Ambien, needs to be weaned
off, just like most drugs. If a person
uses them at prescribed levels, it isn't an addiction. I have to disagree with ILADVOCATE, it is safe to use every night. I have seen the same things written here about ativan. I never take beyond what's been prescribed. (unless I've had a massive panic attack) I tell my pdoc right away, even if it's been within safe guidelines.
