Anyone using Ambien?

It works very well.

The first time I used it I was sitting and watching TV. I started to get drowsy and looked at the curtains and they were moving (it was the ambien!) I decided it was time to go to bed.

After the first time I didn't get that effect but it is still very effective. Normally it take me 45 mins to sleep. With Ambien I am out in under 15.

It is now sold as a generic which makes it very inexpensive. I used to pay $50 a bottle now I pay $10. Also, I use maybe a bottle every year or so. I get 10mg tabs and chop them in half and 5mg works just fine.
 
I used it for two months some time back. Didn't do much for me, personally.

Puddles loves it. I know there're a number of other people here who take it and like it.

EDIT: I used the IR. This was before the XR came out.

:cow:

I guess it works very well but it can also make you trip and get all fucked up.

Yeah. This why it didn't work as I though it would for me (I was expecting something that would knock me out, not a friggin' hypnotic).

From Wiki:

"Zolpidem is a prescription medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, as well as some brain disorders. It is a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic that potentiates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, by binding to benzodiazepine receptors which are located on the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors."

"Its hypnotic effects are similar to those of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, but it is molecularly distinct from the classical benzodiazepine molecule and is actually classified as an imidazopyridine. Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, which is used for benzodiazepine overdose, can also reverse zolpidem's sedative/hypnotic effects."

On the radio here one of the talk show hosts had people calling in about their ambien stories.

Some people take it, fall asleep, then 'wake up' but are not awake and do crazy shit. One guy said his wife cooked a meal and was running around the house naked and didn't remember it the next day. I've never had that type of experience.
 
It works well for me.
But when I first started taking it I wouldn't go to sleep right away and I would wander around the house all spaced out.
I had lots of bruises from running into furniture/walls.
 
I ran into the wall my first time. I didn't realize it was going to kick in so fast, I was trying to find my way to the bedroom. I took two my first time for some stupid reason.
 
ive used it quite a bit, and have a love hate relationship with the drug

the first time i took it, i was like "this shit doesnt work, waht a waste" and then....my skin turned to rubber. and teh lights went all weird. and then i walked down the stairs looking liek Captain Jack Sparrow, flourishes and everything. according to my sister, I did a faceplant into my bed like Id been shot with curare poison

anyway i got used to it, but after a while, i noticed that i was dreaming about food, and lo and behold, there were plates on the floor of my bedroom. and packets of chips. and coke.

the last last last time i used it, I cooked a steak and dont remember it. and not a little steak - it was like one and a half pounds. and there was barbecue sauce smeared everywhere, including on the glass balustrade, like a zombie movie - finger marks and everything

so yeah. great for sleeping, but its best if you tie yourself down first

OH and lets not forget the time i took one, went to sleep, and woke up with a naked girl in my bed...a girl i hadnt seen in months.

you kno, reading this, i dont think im using this ish again lol
 
Oh god, I completely forgot about this...
In my running into walls period I would also make these strange calls to my friends. Like sleep drunk dialing. I would wake up and look at my dialed called history. There was usually an hour or so of conversations that I could not remember at all.
I'm glad that stopped.

I'm not touching that stuff. Sounds like I'd wake up with bloody hands not remembering where I was.

and a sore ass.

btw, Ambien is the devil!!! It works fine, but when you try to get off of it monsters from the Twilight Zone start to visit. :worried:

Samething happened to me, but I only took 1. Didn't make it back to the bedroom in time and woke up on the couch the next morning.
 
I sleep sexed my wife every time I took it with no memory of what happened. I also woke up once fully clothed, shoes on and everything, in bed. It was winter time and I had tracked that nasty grey slush through the house and into bed. I looked out into the yard and it looked like I was just walking around in circles.

You gotta wonder what the neighbors think when you do shit like that. I ran into a bank teller that happened to be my neighbor...she told me an interesting story about the things I did while mixing Valium and Jagr.

She moved, but I always wondered who else may have seen something.

they were cr's =\
yeah, try the regular ones, OR you could jsut chew up a CR tablet (it releases all 12.5mg all at once, so its like taking a 12.5mg regular tab)

i prefer the normal ones by far. they send you off to sleep, then you have normal sleep once youre out. the CR one keeps releasing into your body and makes me feel gross
 
the VA is too cheap to stock ambien. now that i have insurance i want to go to my regular doctor and see about getting some.
 
When I had some terrible secondary insomnia I took ambien. I started with 5-10mg, then 10-15, then I stopped when my script for 10mg ones lasted only 9 days for an entire month... The next 3 weeks were the most horrible weeks of my life, I didn't sleep more than 2-3 hours and felt like hell. It slowly faded, and the stressors have gone so I sleep okay without it now.
