Hi yxibow,

>Ramelteon

It's already available in pharmacies. A babbler just rang his/her pharmacy and they'd already got it in stock.

>Ambien CR

Despite the fact that it's a patent extender, I do think it will be useful. Standard Ambien is (generally) very short acting - it (often) doesn't keep people asleep for long enough.

>Ambien itself can and is being taken up to 20mg for long periods of time actually by patients, though the PDR doesnt recommend it and some GPs are skittish of that idea.

Even at 20mg, Ambien is short-acting. Ambien CR should keep people asleep for longer ...and reduce the chance of waking up during the night.

Kind regards

~Ed
