First off: The doctor who prescribed you Ambien is the best being to answer this question. But since you are using byedr.com:
The benefits of Ambien usually wear out after using it for a long time. After a while you may rouse up earlier than usual even after you've taken Ambien the hours of darkness before. Some population also get vivid dreams and have a feeling restless even during their sleep. These would be some of the possible signs that it would be a good time to unhurriedly stop taking Ambien. But the best time to stop taking Ambien would also depend on whether the underlying cause of your sleep problems have been resolved/improved or not.
Ambien is not too aggressive or too addictive though. If you would stop taking Ambien, sure you would hold a hard time falling asleep for 2 or 3 night but after that you would probably be fine. It's best to gradually cut back on the dosage if your doctor advises you to stop taking it to some extent than going cold turkey.
Ambien is not a benzodiazepine so it's much safer than many other sleeping pills.
However it should other be your goal not to necessitate any sleep aids at all. Talk around your doctor and create an Ambien 'exit-plan' with him/her.
The largest tip off will be if you cannot dribble asleep without it.
