Peg,
I agree that being very disiplined with the Ambien is very important. I take it at the same time every night and am always in bed within 20 minutes. Definitely not a drug you want to take if you're planning social activities....
I'm curious, do you really only take 1mg of Ambien? I take 10mgs and it's the perfect dose for me. I know that the smallest single dose pill is 5mgs (or at least that's what my doctor told me). Do you actually cut that tiny little pill into 5 smaller pieces?
