There might the that. Have you tried valerian capsules? Two washed down with a small sherry sometimes help, but my insomnia is epic, as is my tolerance to meds. Maybe one?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Two weeks into giving up HFCS I went absolutely bananas for a day and a half. Laughing, crying, cranky, achy, bloated... it was like PMSx10.
Could be a coinky-dink, could be the human body's dislike of change.

I feel like a super-spy or something.

Compassionately intolerant
If I ever found a food that could help me sleep for 7 hours without waking I would be very very happy. But then sleep and I have a somewhat fitful relationship.
But the 7 hours didn't make me feel good! I'm groggy, bloated and sluglike.
And, while I totally agree with you Steph that this withdrawal is not like a narcotic, but I'm not joking...I find myself making the most ridiculous rationalizations for my wheat seeking behavior. It's pathetic, especially since I know the impact on my physiology and psyche.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to take something like that, not with small kids and a husband who is blessed with the ability to sleep through just about anything.
The effects of Ambien for me are really dose related, so 10 mg makes me a zombie; 7.5 puts me to sleep for a shorter time, but I'm not confused if woken up in the middle of the night; and 5 mg is relaxing and helps me sleep if I'm not in the "it's midnight and suddenly I'm awake enough to solve world peace" mode. You might try just a tiny bit and see how you do.
Right now, however, I'm on one antibiotic that causes insomnia and another that affects how Ambien is metabolized, so all bets are off.
