But I'd wake up refreshed pretty much no matter what. Very curious about what is in ambien that does this? It's amazing. Now I never wake up refreshed like usual feel tired still trouble falling asleep. Dumb doctors wouldn't prescribe me it anymore. | I liked it I really want to know why it's so great in that refreshness area for me(:anyone know?? | F | 20 | 1 months About 5 | 2/20/2017 | 1 | insomnia due to MS | Sleep was disturbed by waking and vivid dreams. Day after side effects are horrible- dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, headache, severe depression. | I would rather not sleep than deal with the day after side effects. | F | 44 | 1 weeks 5mg | 2/20/2017 | 3 | Insomnia (stress, I guess) | First night I did get a few hours of sleep. 2nd night 6 hours. 3rd and 4th a good 10hrs. 5th night I tried to fall asleep without it and just take melatonin and drink warm milk. At midnight I finally took ambien. So glad to be able to sleep but the side effects are horrible! Feeling of floating, dizzy, nauseous, diarrhea, tingly and if I do too much heart palpitations. I want to sleep but I can't live a normal life taking this with the side effects! | F | 40 | 5 days 10mg | 3/12/2017 | 5 | Perfect description | 1 days | 3/25/2017 | 5 | Insomnia | Usually none. Sometimes goofy or silly if I have had a drink (rarely) and don't go to sleep soon after taking the ambien. | Taking the 10 Mg tab didn't always get me to sleep. Especially if I had a late night snack. This is the trick I came up with about 3 months ago and it works like a charm almost every time. I bite of a small piece- about a third of a tablet. I swallow the large piece and then I tuck the small piece under my tongue so it dissolves and is absorbed sublingually it usually work pretty good. The sublingual dose acts quickly and the other part kicks in later. I typically get 6.5 to 8 hrs of good sleep. I do have a fan cpap and sometimes earplugs. Works well for me. | M | 59 | 2 years 10 mg | 4/9/2017 | 2 | insomnia | Chronic anxiety and, high tolerance in short amount of time, wears off quickly, did not feel rested in morning. Memory lapse and disorientation after 6 or 7 days. | Started off w/10 mg before bed, Worked fast then after a couple of days needed more and then it wore of rapidly. I am a recovering alcoholic, the desire to drink again after many years of sobriety became overwhelming, stopped using the Ambien. Would rather not sleep than to start drinking again. Couple of people at AA told me of similar problems but not most,2nd time I have tried this drug in three years, there will not be a third time | M | 58 | 2 weeks 10 2X day | 4/24/2017 | 4 | sleep | None | I wish I could get my regular sleep back but can't get off of the Ambien. Gives me that feeling of good sleep. Please someone have any recommendations to wean off of the pill... | F | 73 | 16 years 5-10 1X day | 4/28/2017 | 1 | insomnia | Memory loss, sleep eating, online shopping, feeling groggy, spacey the next day, moodiness, lethargy | Never should have started when dr prescribed this. I am presently weaning off. Good riddance to this drug. Nothing positive to gain taking it. | F | 64 | 10 years 10 1X day | 6/1/2017 | 5 | Insomnia | A little hunger | I take 1/3 of a 5mg pill at bedtime; then 1/3 again around 12 or 1 when I wake. This very low dose has been extremely helpful to me. Taking 5 mg makes me feel odd. The 6.25 mg make me hallucinate. I think people are prescribed too high an initial dose, in general. | F | 73 | 9 years 3.6 mg | 8/22/2017 | 3 | Sleep | Headaches in the am, heart pounding, palpitations, bad impulsive shopping online, eating late, sending inappropriate text messages then regretting! Anxiety. Only got 5 hrs of sleep from it. | F | 41 | 2 years 10mg | 11/4/2017 | 1 | Persistent insomnia | No sleep worse anxiety and depression | Bad stuff | F | 39 | 3 days 10mg | 4/5/2018 | 1 | Insomnia | M | 70 | 30 days 10 1X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | New C Pap machine and couldn't get | Fell asleep in an instant while driving in the afternoon and ended up in the ditch alongside the road. I was not even sleepy. Scared me to death. Never took another Ambien! Dangerous stuff! | The silent killer as far as I am concerned. | F | 70 | 2 months don't know 1X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | isomenia | I was sleep walking, actually crawling around on the floor at 2:00 am in the bedroom according to my husband. In the morning I had no memory of being out of bed. On the other night my husband found me in the closet hiding in the corner, again with no memory. | This drug is poison and will never take it again, it should be BANNED! | F | 67 | 3 days 30 1X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | insomnia | Horrible dreams, trouble waking up, heart palpitations | Saw a different doctor who prescribed another medication because "Ambien is addicting and has terrible side effects". New medical is so much better, no side effects | F | 58 | 90 days 1 1X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | Shift sleep disorder | Sleep walking, amnesia, head ache, inability to sleep, memory loss, confusion, waking in places that I did not go to sleep in, combative. | I stopped taking it after I awoke in my basement with some of my firearms disassembled and in various stages of cleaning out of my safe. I did not go to sleep in my basement, but 2 floors above. I also grabbed the keys to my truck and attempted to leave and go somewhere, but my wife stopped me. I had no recollection of these events. | M | 45 | 60 days 5mg 2X day | 5/30/2018 |
