i think you're possibly confusing ambien with ativan. ativan is a quick acting benzo commonly used to sedate patients in the ER psych ward. ambien is a sleep initiator in the class of imidazopyridines. i recommend staying away from benzos period. i had my bout with klonopin during ptsd treatment. it helped during the worst of times, but it took me 3 months of withdraw, sickness, and suffering to get over the physical addiction that manifested during the 4 months i was on it. i was also on trazadone during this period. welcome to the twilight zone. never again will i touch that crap. to the OP, i would go with AlmightyAlpha's cannabis recommendation since it actually works (indica strains) and causes zero harm.
