I don't know if you mean another post besides this one. I think this one said she/he was addicted to pain pills and benzos and has been off of them for nine days. She/he was having bad dreams until she started taking Ambien to help with the withdrawals. I don't believe Ambien is addicting. It is just like taking immodium or anything else that helps with symptoms. I have to take Requip every night for restless leg and Elavil. If I didn't I would never sleep. I think as long as you stop when the withdrawals stop it will be okay. That is just my opinion.
