don't use medication.. Tried Ambien once, 10mg didn't work, was supposed to put me out within 30-45 minutes, 6 hours later I was still going strong..
20mg, nope
30mg, nope
Dr. stopped me @ 50mg because she said I was at a dangerous level @ 30mg and 50mg could kill me.. but it still never worked.
I've found that a bottle of wine with dinner does a nice job of lowering my blood pressure, which in turn make me fall asleep. But then again, I drank a bottle of wine myself on New Years Eve, plus had several beers between 9pm and midnight and was still going strong @ 3am.
So I guess it really depends on if I want to sleep or not.
