Just my experience with ambien for anyone reading this or contemplating taking this drug. I took the lowest dose for 9 months, four to five days per week.  I began having interdose withdrawals early in but didn’t attribute it to the drug because I thought it was  “safe”. According to my doctor and several reputable medical websites, the risk for dependency was non-existent or close to it. I had severe withdrawals for months upon cessation of the drug and didn’t feel normal until 13 or 14 months after my last pill. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a benzo in disguise.  I have ptsd from the experience and now approach any pharmaceutical with extreme caution.  I’m okay with testosterone (although not 100 percent since artificially elevating it disrupts other hormones) since it’s naturally occurring, but I generally steer clear now of anything synthetic (in this case meaning a chemical not naturally occurring in the body).
