> talk to your pdoc. s/he might suggest taking a 5mg dose if you wake up after that first 4 hours.I sometimes use it that way (I wake up in the middle of the night/early morning a lot). Sonata (a drug that acts like Ambien, only for an even shorter duration) is specifically marketed for this type of use -- it works fast and only lasts a couple of hours.
> you can get ambien in the 10mg pill size or the 5mg pill size. i get the 5mg size so that i can take 10 or 15mg. fyi.
I get 60/month of the 10 mg (I need 20). As you can probably imagine, pharmacies tend to mess this up.
