I took it at 7 PM because I haven't slept in weeks for longer than a few hours . Fell asleep and woke up to go pee a little while ago and stumbled through the dark to the bathroom. When I came out, I bumped into my wife who was going to the bathroom too. I didn't turn the light on, just got into the bed. I fell back asleep telling her good night as my bathroom door shut. I just woke up a few minutes ago and regained my senses. I have been divorced for two years and am alone, my kids are with her this week. This wasn't a dream, I know I got up to pee because my bathroom light is on and I turned it off after my shower. Anyone else have this happen on this shite??

I just sleep solid for 6 hrs on 5mg -half of the reg dose. My wife and kids say I snore louder and they can make me say crazy shite while sleeping.

What in the flying frick? Are you saying you don't live with your ex?

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

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.

I took that shite and it worked well for a few days...then I woke up sitting in my truck wearing nothing but my underwear with the keys in the ignition...

scared me so bad, I went inside and threw the rest of them away...

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.
