Dr. John Chiu answered

Unclear: Was the Ambien prescribed before or after the onset of dizziness? If before, I would agree with the previous answer. If after, it is the wrong drug for the condition. I want to know also if restless leg is keeping you awake. If so, sleep deprivation would at least be a contributing factor.
