First generic versions of Ambien approved by FDA

I'm not sure I am a fan of a hypnotic drug used to soothe insomnia (your mileage may vary), but Ambien, the sedative used to get insomniacs to sleep, is now going generic as of this morning.

The FDA approved generic versions of Ambien in the form of 5mg and 10mg tablets and will be made by multiple generic drug companies in the U.S.

Have you taken Ambien in the past (or right now)? If so, did it help you sleep without any kind of negative side effect? I'd like to hear from you if you're a fan (or not a fan) of Ambien and other sedative drugs used to negate the effects of insomnia.
