see, chris? just as i finsh my post mentioning ambien, i see that barbara has already gone down that path. barbara's point in re: preserving stage 4 sleep might be amended with the following: benzos/benzo-derivatives don't, so if you're offered ambien over halcion, go with ambien, in my opinion.....see you on the next board, and all the best, chemist
> HI Chris,
> Let's pursue this one. I'm right there with ya and will post a separate question to Chemist. In the meantime, have you tried Ambien for sleep? It's what I'm currently on and find it very helpful. I have fibromyalgia along with bipolar depression and I NEED my sleep and can't take anything that interferes with Stage IV delta sleep. Ambien is great for this and there is absolutely no hangover. It does occasionally poop and I have to take more, but it hasn't been a problem.
