yes, ambien is addictive
i had to get myself off sleeping pills and it was such a struggle, but worth it! try to lower your dose very gradually (i can't remember ambien doses etc) and try not to think about the fact that you are weaning off the drug. that will throw you right off. 3 years is a long time to be on it, docs don't seem to remember things like that.
good luck with it if you do try- it will be hard but it is such an amazing feeling waking up w/o having taken something the night before. My insomnia comes back occasionally but i refuse to take anything because i don't want to go through it again.
