Rethinking your OTC sleep aid?

So you've come to the realization that you have trouble sleeping and you're doing something about it. Sure, over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids can seem like a quick fix—but are you really getting the right treatment? OTC sleep aids may seem like a good solution, but some may only help you fall asleep, and some may not be intended for long-term use. However, AMBIEN CR is not like most sleep aids. AMBIEN CR can be taken for as long as your healthcare provider recommends. Plus, it's non-narcotic. If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, maybe it's time to learn more about the AMBIEN CR difference.

The AMBIEN CR Difference

Only AMBIEN CR has a dual layer that gets you to sleep, so you wake up less frequently and fall back to sleep faster. In fact, in clinical studies AMBIEN CR was proven effective for up to 7 hours. And, unlike AMBIEN CR, some OTC treatments contain pain relievers and other medicines you may not even need.

According to a national survey, 54% of adults said they've experienced at least one symptom of insomnia at least a few times a week.* Not everyone suffers from the same types of sleep problems. Some people have trouble falling asleep. Others can fall asleep, but have trouble staying asleep. Many people suffer from both types of sleep problems. If you're having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or both—AMBIEN CR may help.

Important Safety Information

AMBIEN CR is a treatment option you and your healthcare provider can consider along with lifestyle changes and can be taken for as long as your provider recommends. Until you know how AMBIEN CR will affect you, you shouldn't drive or operate machinery. Be sure you're able to devote 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being active again. Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported. If you experience any of these behaviors contact your provider immediately. In rare cases, sleep medicines may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of your tongue or throat, shortness of breath or more severe results. If you have an allergic reaction while using AMBIEN CR, contact your doctor immediately. Side effects may include next-day drowsiness, dizziness and headache. It's non-narcotic; however, like most sleep medicines, it has some risk of dependency. Don't take it with alcohol.
