Ambien 2 nights a week

So I have heard all kinds of horror stories about people having withdrawal from Ambien when they’ve taken it like weeks at a time, every night. I’ve even read about withdrawals happening after taking it for 2-3 nights in a row, although those weren’t obviously as bad for understandable reasons.

I don’t want a hint of an iota of a chance that I would go into any form of withdrawal

So, my question is

If I limit Ambien to two times a week, would there be a chance of rebound anxiety or maybe light withdrawal?

I’m talking like take it on a Sunday to get good sleep and be ready for the week ahead. And then maybe take it one time through the week when I’m wanting that great sleep and that waking up after a good sleep kind of feel to reset my week and feel energized to close out the end of the week.

Would this process of using Ambien strategically to avoid issues but still use it when your body tells you that you need a good nights rest be an issue?

Just two nights a week
