ambien for sleep aid if you have sleep apnea?
I have Central Sleep Apnea. My doctor has given me a prescription for ambien because I have insomnia and don't sleep well at night. Do you think this can be dangerous for me to take ambien at night? I heard that anyone who has sleep apnea should not take a sleep aide, but I have to get sleep some way because while at work I fall to sleep while doing my work on my computor.

Yea I have come to that conclusion as well. Also, zanix helps.

After reading comments on Sleepguide about Ambien, researching side effects of taking Ambien, and talking with my doctors about Ambien, I decided that the benefits from this sleep aide far outweigh any negative aspects. I have come to the conclusion that I will continue to take half an Ambien pill almost every night. It isn't a cure-all, but it does make a miserable night a little better.
