Hi Jet Meck.
> I see double when taking Ambien; Why is this happening.
I haven't investigated the side-effect profile of Ambien well enough to answer your question.Do you continue to see double all day long?
Maybe you can try some of the following strategies:
1. Reduce dosage
2. Switch to another medication
3. If hard to fall asleep:
a. Sonata (short-acting)4. If hard to stay asleep:
b. Ativan (medium-acting)
c. Restoril (medium-acting)5. If hard to get to sleep and stay asleep:
a. Combine Sonata + Ativan
b. Combine Sonata + Restoril6. Alternatives:
a. Short-acting: Halcion
b. Long-acting: trazodone
c. Extra-long-acting: Klonopin
d. Neurontin
Just a few ideas. I like Ativan.Good luck.
