I can wake up while on Ambien, take a leak, get a drink of water or milk, check phone for a text, lay down and be back asleep in minutes.

I took Ambien for a year or so about 7 or 8 years ago. I was also taking Lortab and Soma at the time following neck surgery and still had zero weird experiences. It was the best sleep med I've ever taken - it would knock me out in 10 minutes, I'd sleep great for 8-9 hours and wake up with no problem and no "hangover" effect throughout the day. Have never slept as good after I got off it. Now I take a small dose of Trazodone and Melatonin - very inconsistent and leaves me groggy.

Crazy shite happens with that drug. And I have taken it then went off of it. I never found the sleep I got with Ambien to be restful.

A friend of mine got up one night to go pee after taking that stuff and ran smack into the bathroom door. Not the face of it, but the door edge. Several stitches in the middle of his forehead. Didnt even know what hit him. had black eyes as well.

while I was in HS, my mother woke me up to help her with my father. found him curled up in the corner of their room noting the recliner chair from our living room kept chasing him around the house and was making fun of him. he takes ambien many nights, but had messed up and had a glass of red wine after dinner on top of that. its a hallucinogen.

A friend's sister took it one time and wound up going to the grocery store at like 2AM, bought like $1000 in cookies and junk food.

Ambien only worked well for me about the first 5-7 times I used it.

It seems like otc sleep medicine after that..

I can honestly say in the months I was on ambien before it stopped working, I never had one weird experience



Everyone metabolizes substances differently...One night in college, I saw two dead girls walk behind me whispering to one another while "partying" on ambien.

At least you didn't wake up to find your wife and dog missing... only to find them in bed with a strange couple.

When I take Ambien, I see inanimate objects move around my house. It's a fun show!

No it was a blast. A bunch of sunflowers in a vase shaking as if they were waving at me, Louis Armstrong floated out of a Jazz Fest print, throws levitated as well as my grand piano, people in photos moved and smiled, I loved it!
