m coming out of that endless bog of fog also. My
brain is back! I had several difficult classical Guitar pieces memorized
and could recite them at the drop of a hat for years. Once I got going on Ambien they were GONE for the most part. Now they're coming back. Also, I'd start a sentence during a conversation...gone in mid-sentence. It's horrible stuff. I, too, find myself short fused.
Along with my taper dose, Yogi Tea, Melatonin every night at bedtime gets me to sleep.
