Ambian CR (controlled released) is a prescription sleeping pill. Most doctors prefer this one over many of the older ones, since it has less potential for abuse. But, just like most prescription sleep aids, there is still some potential for abuse with this med. Melatonin is a hormone that is produced naturally by the body, which signals the body's natural circadian rhythms for sleep and wakefulness. When experiencing insomnia, whether due to stress, jet lag, etc., an increase in this hormone can help the body get to sleep more easily, and sleep better during the night. Melatonin can be purchased without a prescription in most grocery stores, pharmacies and health food stores, and can be quite effective in helping your body restore its natural sleep/wake cycle.

If you abhor long flights is it a good idea to take Ambian CR?

NO! Ambian CR (control release) can cause memory loss and hallucinations, among other side-effects, such as causing one to be incoherent. You should NEVER take a drug like this when you are going to be away from the safety of your own home, or any time you will be in a public place. If you truly feel the need to take some sort of sedative before a long flight, it is much more advisable to take one of the benzodiazipines, such as Valium or Xanax. But only take it in small doses, especially if you've never taken either of these drugs before. I have taken Ambian on every long flight and have never had a problem. Every person is different and should check with their Doctor before taking any medication.
