I'm 2mths post op and have never stopped taking it (my surgeon said it was ok). As a matter of fact, I'm not suppose to swallow pills whole but that one is so small, I have no problems with it. I tried crushing it at first but it is HORRIBLE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRED1977 186 Posted November 21, 2013 I take 12.5 and have taken it throughout my whole sleeve journey,and some times I cut them in half and take them it seems to work just as good but the amount hours I sleep is cutdown some. I think you will be ok but I'm not a doctor of course. I have been taking Ambien since 2008 ,and I have never had a problem with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
