Since this forum is called uncensored, I guess it's OK to post about Ambien. I have major sleeping problems, so I turned to Ambien but the other day, I took my tab and went on chatting with a friend on AIM until I was almost half asleep. The next day, he questioned me about what I had told him right before I hit the sack and I didn't remember anything .... Later he told me that I had been flirting with him :confused:

I talked to a guy at my gym and he experienced something similar. One night, he told his girl that he had committed a burglary with friends. The next day, she confronted him and of course he didn't remember saying these things!

Wow! Sounds like you should only pop a pill right before you hit the sack.

I take one half an hour before I hit the sack, sometimes only half a tab when I'm more relaxed (less stressed) :confused:

i saw a report on this drug and lots of people were sleep walking in the middle of night and doing things that they wouldnt rememker such as:

cooking
driving
and other thigns which are dangerous..
aggressive sex... /fighting

they were saying thats its dangerous and that one woman went and bought groceries in her sleep .. the next day she looks in her trunk and there were 3 bags of groceries and she was all confused how they got there ..

I dont know just though I would share LoL ..

take care,

I get meaner when I'm on Ambien..then have no clue what I've done. SOmetimes I've gotten up and gorged myself. Wake the next day and only know I have because of the dirty dishes I've left.

See if you can get a script for Lunesta (it leaves a bad taste in my mouth though but seems to work ok.) or Trazadone...(which gives me raging hardons when I wake up in the mornings...a good thing!!!!) Of course...Trazadone is considered an antidepressant so if your employer pulls drug tests....well...have your script! Of course...they have found this to aid in sleep which is why trazadone has been widely prescribed for sleeplessness.

sounds like a dangerous drug, maybe the doses are too high. Be careful

Thank you, guys.

Interesting stuff you posted there, flexy. It must be the nastiest side of the drug!

any1uno, do you know what the generic name of lunesta is? I'll ask my doc about it. Trazadone ... could it be Trazolan? I took this one last year when I was depressed and couldn't sleep.

Trazadone worked great for me but it started leaving me with headaches....nothing like waking up with a headache and a boner.

The official name for it is eszopiclone, it does work and like any1 said it does leave a bad taste in your mouth even after you wake up, I call it lunasta ha

Thanks, leeawful. The name zopiclone rings a bell. I think that I've seen it here at the pharmacy. I'll ask my doc about it.

Took it twice, the wife said i am not allowed t touch it again.
dont remember a thing.

There are stories of people buying cars on it. not remebering a thing.

Since then i use bacopa (herb) and it raises thyroid levels.

I'm taking one tab or sometimes half a tab at bedtime and I sleep like a baby but I don't take it half an hour before bed or I say and do things that I don't even remember the next day (sometimes I read posts I made and say "OMG, did I write this?").

I hade a sleeping probelm BUT I personally think it was just stress related. I used them all Ambian Ambian cr Lunesta and the last Rozeram They were all candy i was consuming 20mg ambian and still waking up 3 hours later and never falling asleep Rozeram I just stopeed It gave me weird bizarre dreams. I told the doctor this she said yes that is one of the side affects. I said the heck with all of this stuff. Now I sleep like a champ. That medicine doesnt work for me. No Im not a pill popper. I hate taking meds. I gues this is what happens when you hit 40.:D Im ammune to many meds

My insomnia is also stress related .... and I do have bizarre dreams when taking Ambien or another sleeping pill like lorazepam. I wish I could find a way to beat that stress and sleep like a baby again.

i hate that shit, its a hypnotic and if you dont fall asleep right away your basically sleep walking.

hell if you have legitimate anxiety problems, see a psych and get a script for xanax or some other benzo to help you sleep on the really rough nights. even wit that i wake up a few hours later, so i take it with elavil (tricyclic like trazodone) to keep me asleep.

trazodone or other tricyclics alone give me wicked nightmares that interfere with the quality of my sleep they are so realistic

I wish it was that easy, K :)
I'll see a specialist when I come back from my holiday b/c as you said, this has been going on for months now and if I don't pop a pill, I end up tossing and turning all night and that's bad.

Ambien at 10-20mg makes me sleep pretty good but i wake up too early!
Generic version zilpidem tartrate,same thing also felt like i built up a tolerance to it so doc put me on seroquel{anti-psychotic/sleep aid} which now knocks me on my ass and i sleep too late lol(only use this if i really really need it):eek: :eek:

I stopped taking my ambiens because I would wake up and go grab something to eat and wake up the next morning and I would be covered with Ice Pop ( sugar free of course) all over me and in my bed. This happened to me 3-4 times and I never knew i got up.........

From what I have read so far, that's what happens to all of those who take ambien. You do things that you can't remember and I must say that it's a bit scary. On the other hand, it's not addictive like most sleeping pills.

I used ambien for quite awhile on and off. I never experienced the sleep walking or maybe I dont remember! lol!
My problem was, if I used it say for 3-4 nights, then i stop, I was awake all night!
So I switched to Lunesta, no problem like Ambian, but I dont sleep as long!

Being a firefighter and working 24 hr shifts has screwed up my sleep beyond belief. I have tried em all. Started off with melatonin, benadryl ( too groggy ), cutting out caffeine in the afternon etc etc. Tried valerian root too. In th pharm world I have tried lunesta (hated the metallic taste in the mouth), restoril,sonata and regular ambien. I have been on ambien cr for a year. It works the best. It is controlled release with keeps me sleeping all night through. I take it about three nights a week. I have done some funny stuff on it. Went from a deep sleep to doing situps and screaming to sleep eating. I'd wake up and say damn who destroyed the oreos. I hate taking prescriptions but my sleep will be messed up for another 15 years.

They don't sell regular Ambien here ... I doubt I'll ever find Ambien CR :(
Thanks for the info, groverman.
