I have always had a hard time sleeping and then 2006 happened. My father passed away unexpectedly in April, Husband diagnosed with thyroid cancer in june, lost grandfather and uncle in Sept. and the I started with the Boob thing in Nov. So my doc put me on ambien. Did nothing so we tried the ambein cr. Not too bad, I could actually get maybe 5 hours sleep. When I started chemo he put me on lunesta and I actually woke up every two hours. Lst night I tried an ambien cr12.5 mg and a tylenol pm and slept like a baby. It's amazing how different combos work.
