Almost back to normal?

Brilliant - on my third night of Ambien I slept completely uninterrupted for 7 hours.  So nice to not have to struggle through a long night.

Only downside is I'm exhausted in the morning - probably a combination of known Ambien side effects plus me resetting my sleep schedule (getting up a half hour earlier each day).

I'm going to try a half dose (5mg) of Ambien, and then try none at all to see if I can get closer to being back to normal.

I still feel completely stable during the day now, so I really really hope my insomnia is just a lelftover  from the destabilization, and it's something I can reverse without drugging myself up any further.

EDIT - forgot to mention as of last night I tried taking myself off of Rozerem, and going back on my all-natural Melatonin. (Rozerem is some different prescription FDA-approved variant of Melatonin) Certainly didn't seem to hurt!
