> Oh boy, something else to consider... I've been attributing my anxiety to Wellbutrin or Effexor withdrawal--now I wonder if ambien is involved. If I don't take it one night, would I feel less anxious the next day, or does ambien stay in my system? Just wondering.

It generally keeps me asleep for a good 6 hours (well not GOOD--I need 8 hours of sleep!)... after that, it depends on the day, but it's better than how I was before (never able to fall asleep). I also take .25 mg of klonapin, but I'm hoping to stop that once I figure out what's contributing to my added anxiety...Dkscully,
I haven't taken Ambien in over 48 hours now and my mood has normalized. On another note, I haven't slept much in the past two days. But I'd rather have trouble falling asleep again then feel like that. YMMV.
