| 3 | yo alero | side effects a lil euphoria if i dont sleep, get thirsty, get emotional, its strange like a hallucinagen very emotional | its supposed to sleep but it makes me dizzy like a drug | M | 22 | 2 months 10mg x day 1X day | 9/23/2020 | 1 | Wife: Labor. Me: Insomnia from pain | Amnesia, psychotic behavior. | My wife took ambien in the hospital while in labor. Her doctor gave it to her to sleep after she was induced. She woke up in the middle of the night trying to pull her IV out and was confused where she was and what was going on. She started acting very psychotic and demanding a c-section so they gave her one. After she got out she was still confused about what was going on. Apparently she tried smearing blood on a nurse who was cleaning her the blood from her vaginal area after surgery. The next day child protective services show up and claim her "bizarre behavior" was enough reason to take our newborn child away. After a week the child was released into our grandparents custody then another couple weeks into my custody and several months later my wife now has custody after months of parenting classes, mental exams and such. Almost 3 months later and several court dates later we are just about to take all custody away from the state. What CPS did was wrong, but if | M | 22 | 1.5 months | 11/12/2006 | 5 | Insomnia | euphoria, sexual arrousal, when staying awake feeling as if there are other people with you even though you are alone... the next day, a bit of sinus headache..amnesia from events while awake and had taken ambien. | I sincerely believe that if you try to stay awake while taking this drug it brings your conscious and subconsious to the same level making you do things that you would never do consciously, but subconsciously want to do, it makes you primal..and you can hallucinate things (dreaming while awake) because youre mind is put to sleep but your body is not. staying awake on ambien can be very very dangerous if you are not supervised. (and i love it) | M | 21 | 1 years | 10/4/2005 | 5 | Insomnia | None | I love Ambien! Makes me so horny and chill. Almost like bud without the anxiety or munchies. Ambien is just fine, day or night! | M | 21 | 2 months | 6/29/2006 | 5 | insomnia caused by stress/traumas | holy hallucinating batman! I've only taken this twice, but that is the main side effect for me. I am laughing my ass off reading these comments as if I'm currently on the drug. they are all so accurate! within minutes the first night the table became a lizzard. but I'm a smart cookie and knew that meant it was time to get to bed. while in bed the walls were moving and the bed was floating as if I were in a boat. strange. but I slept very well. the second time I took this I went straight to bed but it took me several minutes to fall asleep. when it kicked in I ended up calling my boyfriend though I had just been on the phone with him. I told him that there were people in here all staring at me and angry-like. the water bottle was bending over to look at me. the laundry bags became people and the bed was shaking a lot. he said it sounded like I was on drugs. needless to say he is worried and does not want me to take this anymore. but I slept a solid 8 hours each time I took this and felt | I laughed so much over the "ambien date" comment a few reviews down. I can't say it made me "aroused" but the next day AFTER when I did not take ambien, I had very um "graphic" dreams and ended up waking up for fear of acting them out in my sleep. | F | 21 | 2 days | 3/5/2006 | 5 | insomnia and anxiety | The only side effect I had was it made me feel weird. When the ambien kicked in it felt weird to eat and touch anything. And everything just seemed to slow down to slow motion. Other then that this drug saves my life. Without it I would still be up for days at a time | F | 21 | 1 days 50 MG | 3/3/2012 | 5 | Sleep and Anxiety | Grogginess in the morninging if I didn't get atleast 8 hours of sleep. | M | 21 | 3 weeks | 9/11/2008 | 5 | Insomnia | At first, euphoria. It didn't put me to sleep unless I took two or three. When I wanted to experience a buzz, I took one. The sour note is Ambien no longer gives me euphoria or buzzes, no matter how many or few pills I take. It just puts me to sleep. So I guess it does what it suppose to. | Euphoria and party-feelings eventually end. So enjoy them while they last. Either that or they changed the formula and took out a molecule that caused the buzzes, something the heck happened. | M | 21 | 7 months | 11/27/2007 | 5 | insomnia | none | I found ambien very helpful in treating my sleep problems. I experienced no side effects and I slept through the night. I took it about 1-2 hours b4 bed time to prevent a "sleep pill hangover" | F | 21 | 1 months | 11/19/2007 | 5 | insomnia | crazy hallucinations, memory loss | for getting sleep it's not worth very much but the fun i had made up for the lack of sleep. i always seemed to end up naked and delirious in the living room. | M | 21 | 10 times | 10/30/2004 | 5 | insomnia | I have had conversations with people I don't remember and also eat and don't remember during the night. Nothing dangerous. I have tried so many different medications and got no where or had terrible side effects! I cannot sleep without it and is helped alot! | F | 21 | 9 months 10mg | 7/14/2014 | 4 | InSoMniA | Well...Hallucinating. Making VERY weird phone calls in the middle of the night singing songs to random people, telling the blunt truth(Told my friend he was ugly with short hair) hearing random voices, delusional thoughts such as little kids in my room, having sex | There is absolutley no side effects if you use as directed. The nights that I went right to bed, I didnt have these effects. Although sometimes, ill be laying there in bed after taking one pill and am not tired so i get up and then that is when all these effects happen | F | 21 | 365 days | 3/13/2008 | 4 | Sleep | I've never had issues sleeping but I was put on this drug when I was in a psychiatric ward. It works quickly, and for the first few weeks helps you to get a great nights sleep. Don't walk around after taking it, you need to lie down for it to really be effective. Also, if you don't lie down, you will do things and completely not remember doing them. Causes nightmares if taken for more than a few weeks, insomnia, tired when you first wake up, tolerance builds. I tried to kill myself and ended up in the hospital for a few days under suicide watch which was terrifying and hallucinated about all sorts of things such as bugs crawling up/down the walls. | F | 21 | 10 MG 1X day | 10/5/2011 | 4 | to sleep | hiccups, runny nose | I feel like I can't think strait so I have to go to bed immediately! | F | 21 | 2 months | 6/23/2006 | 4 | insomnia | oh there are so many, i wake up and find food missing, or a mess from the night before(making mac n cheese at 2 am etc), ive driven miles to a friends house and after acting strangely they questioned if i had taken my ambien yet, i had.i wake up to random text messages, and read the ones i sent which dont make any sense. And thats all i know about, ive been told about other odd behavior interactions ive had. | Despite the odd side effects, i wouldnt discontinue ambien, it is the only sleeping pill on the market that helps me sleep. without it, i go all night long thinking about sleep, but not actually doing it. | F | 21 | 2 years | 11/13/2006 | 2 | to sleep | hallucinations | F | 21 | 1 days | 11/15/2004 | 2 | insomnia,pstd | hallucinations,memory loss,cant control bladder,suicidal thoughts,slurred speech | i initially started taking it for sleep. i also was depressed so i eventually started taking it to get high..i would hallucinate and have conversations with the "devil" out loud.he would tell me to take the whole bottle.I kept peeing in bed.I liked the feeling it gave me because i said whatever i wanted to say and didnt care about anyones feelings.But overall i am a single mom and that behavior could not continue.I decided after a week that would not take it again. | F | 21 | 1 weeks | 1/16/2010 | 1 | Insomnia | I learned first hand the difference between a delusion and a hallucination and it was not fun at all. The only things I actually remember was the blinds downstairs were clacking together and I was convinced there was a lion in the den eating my dogs and the clacking was their bones breaking, and there was a green fairy with shifty eyes that wanted to steal my right kidney. | Apparently after taking it I texted a friend "10 foot long strands of multicolored spaghetti are filling the room" she immediately called my boyfriend who woke up and found me crying and screaming uncontrollably in the bathroom. He spent the next 6 hours holding me because I was trying to knock down a cabinet with my head because I thought there was a monster in there trying to escape and eat me, and I was convinced that leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) was walking on the roof with an ax. I also lost most of my voluntary muscle movements. Those were the really prominent ones that he told me about. | F | 21 | 1 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Twenty minutes after taking Ambien I fell asleep. Shortly after that I began sleepwalking. I don't remember much after that except for throwing up but my husband said I couldn't stand, walk or talk. The few words I did say were creepy. I began throwing up and couldn't physically breath. Luckily he got me back in bed and calm. I fell asleep but woke up several times trying to talk to him. He could only make out a few words but again they were scary. In all I woke up several times and ended up staying in bed three hours. When I woke up I had very little memory of any of it. I felt incredibly nauseous and laid in bed all day. Later that day I ended up throwing up several times. It made me throw up every time I ate. Overall, terrible experience! | F | 21 | 1 days | 10/30/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Memory loss, sleep eating, sleep sex, hallucinations, and violent outbursts. I've been off Ambien for 3.5 years and my vision isn't still isn't normal: I have permanent tracers and find it difficult to focus on any fast-moving object. | I started taking this drug when I was 15 and didn't stop until I was 17. I therefore have 2+ years of unremembered nights. A few examples of what I was told I did under the influence of Ambien: called/texted/instant messaged people with aggressive messages (both sexual and violent); threatened my father; spoke in gibberish; wandered around my house and street; took extra Ambien; had sex; and drank alcohol. However, the worst by far was tearing open my chest with a razor blade. My mother walked in and found me in a pool of blood. I have no memory of this. When she called my boyfriend over to help calm me down, I hallucinated he was my rapist (the reason I was taking Ambien in the first place) and cowered in a corner begging him not to hurt me again. This drug blew my mind apart and left me with a mutilated chest. Please be careful when taking this. | F | 21 | 2.5 years | 9/23/2009 |
