| 2 | Insomnia caused by Bipolar Disorder | I found that it didn't help me to get to sleep as well as regular Ambien, and that I had really bizarre dreams while on it. I was also waking up feeling extremely tired and disoriented. | Be careful in the morning when you wake up. You might still have some Ambien on board if you took it too late. I was in a car accident (minor fender bender) because when I wake up after taking Ambien CR I am out of it for awhile. | F | 23 | 2 weeks 12mg 1X day | 4/30/2011 | 5 | Insomnia | Drowsiness, Agitation, Memory Loss | I take this when I absolutley need to get a good nights sleep. If you don't get in bed immediately after you take it, you will get easily agitated (when spouse tells you to go to sleep) and forget things you do. With that being said - take it then go straight to bed like you are supposed to. I only take it as needed, maybe once or twice a month so no need to worry about addiction. No morning groggy feeling for me as long as I make sure I can sleep a full 8 hours. Was a lifesaver for me when my mother died. | F | 42 | 1X day | 2/14/2011 | 1 | caused severe depression and i had never been clinically depressed before. | F | 59 | 7 days 30mgm 1X day | 1/20/2011 | 5 | Inability to fall/stay asleep | Becoming very sleepy and out of it. That's what I wanted, so those are good effects. If I try to stay up, I will do strange things--send rambling emails, eat another meal. No cooking or driving thank goodness. | This drug saved my sanity, no doubt. Take it on an empty stomach for best results. Make sure you are ready for bed. You can feel it within 15 minutes. I sleep soundly, for the first time in my entire memory. | F | 43 | 3 years 12.5mg 1X day | 1/19/2011 | 2 | insomnia | Helps to sleep but scary memory loss following days...and during 3 months that I took it off and on, I was ridiculously hungry ...woke up from hunger....would eat and not remember. Gained 30 lbs in 3 months and I have never had a weight problem before. It is coming off now that I am off of Ambien. | F | 38 | 3 months 12.5 1X day | 1/14/2011 | 1 | ringing in ears making it hard to sleep | Horrid anxiety, abdominal pain, bladder pain, diarrhea, pain in my eyes, head pain, lethargy, weird spacey feelings all day, sleep deprivation because I couldn't sleep for more than 4-5 hours and did I mention anxiety? All of these went away when I quit taking ambien. | This drug should be banned. When I quit taking it, I hardly slept for MONTHS! And the withdrawals were horrid. My doctor told me it would take six months or more to recover from the brain damage this drug does. This drug has made my life hell, I wish I had never taken it. | M | 51 | 18 weeks 10 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 5 | unable to sleep | Memory loss from the night before | F | 39 | 5 days 12.5 1X day | 8/30/2010 | 5 | Insomnia | Maybe a bit drowsy the next day but feel rested. | I had an awful time getting to sleep and the other drugs I tried either didn't work or only let me fall asleep for a short time. I think the benefits of this drug are well worth it. | M | 51 | 2 months 12.5 MG 1X day | 8/2/2010 | 5 | insomnia | none - some shock due to the cost of this drug!!! They need to come up with a generic for the long acting Ambien! | I take Ambien because I cannot fall asleep or stay asleep because of neuropathy - nerve damage - caused from several lumbar & cervical fusions as a result of a car accident. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. If not for Ambien (and my faith in Jesus, my Lord and Savior!!!), I would not get any sleep at all - I would just stare at the ceiling! | F | 54 | 5 years 12.5 1X day | 5/21/2010 |
