As I've already said, it IS addictive. BUT it is NOT as addictive as other drugs that work in the same manner as this one. Natually, everyone is different so some may become dependant on it rather quickly and others may never be addicted. Your milage WILL vary. If you want to know more, look up benzodiazapienes. Ambien has been chemically modifided from benzos to be less addictive but still have the sleep-inducing properties.
I'm not sure about signing a release form for more than a week's supply, and perhaps that is done at the Dr's office because I've dispensed 30 day supplies all the time with refills in my pharmacy with no problem.
Some people suffer from insomnia for a variety of reasons, and some reasons cannot be fixed other than by giving you something like this to help you sleep. Thus, getting to the root problem is not always the solution. In some cases, e.g. stress or deperssion fixing the problem fixes the insomnia, but in others (insomnia from other vital meds would be first that comes to mind for me) this is not the case.
I'm not going to type out a whole drug counseling session right here, but if anyone wants to know more, feel free to PM me or post here.
