Are There Sleep Drugs That Won't Cause "Rebound" Insomnia?
Question: I take 5 mg of Ambien once or twice a weekfor periodic insomnia. If I take it for more than two nights in a row, and thenstop taking it, I can't sleep at all the first night off the medication. Idon't know if this is common, or if there are any sleep medications that don'thave this unfortunate "rebound" effect. Any advice from thecommunity?
