    Ambien side-effects

    Hi ladies....I'm having a problem and need some input

    I have insomnia real bad and i can't sleep w/o taking something...so my doc put me on ambien been on it off and on for over 2yrs...but i'm the most evil on it,ppl say i curse them out and down right nasty and i can't seem to remember anything

    And what's worse i eat real good during the day and i'll get up at nights and eat all these high calorie foods that i will make for my kids and I have no memory what so ever ...this is making me real depress...so my question is as anyone been on ambien and had similar problems? if you also have getting to sleep problems what do you take and what are the effects of it?

    Thanks for your help

    I dated a guy who took Ambien and would eat all fucking night. All kinds of weird shit he would never eat during the day, but he didn't remember any of it. As soon as he quit taking it he quit sleep eating.

    Yes..."sleepwalking" is a common side affect of Ambien. As is amnesia and hallucinations. Hubby has me on tape talking about going to the ice cream plane that apparently had a portal in our bed.

    I've been on it awhile now and rarely have these episodes....mostly when I havent slept in a few days and I'm overtired.

    But yes...I've eaten in my "sleep" as well (since you are basically asleep when this happens even though your body is still in motion)

    Yup. Sleepwalking or a version of blackouts are probably the worst side effect. That and dependence. Not good.

    What do I recommend? To be honest only natural stuff. I believe there is a thread or two around covering all kinds of things and ideas on getting to sleep without drugs. I know it doesn't help everyone maybe one of these will work better for you.

    I would never take it....I did...the next morning I woke up and my floor was covered in french fries and a half eaten filet of fish sandwhich!! In my "sleep" I apparently got up and drove to the twenty four hour McDonalds to get food! AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    There must be something about Ambien that makes you want to eat bc I know tons of people that sleep eat on it?

    OMG, I've never done that (that I know of!) on Ambien.

    But it makes me reeeeally groggy and bitchy the next day, all day.

    Kinda glad I'm out of pills right now!

    It did crazy things to me too but how I worked around that was, broke the pill in half and took half and then chilled for 20 mins and took the other half. Kept me from driving to Ace Hardware at 9am to have keys made in my sleep! Haha!

    There's a video of me crying because Genghis Kahn is on the other side of a clear vortex in my caravan and was trying to scare me with oranges glued to the walls.

    And we've all heard my Harry Potter one.

    I like to fuck on Ambien apparently.

    I took ambien for awhile. I had horible nausea. I didn't take it every night and sometimes the nausea wouldn't hit until 2 days later but it was definately the ambien. I ran out of it and couldn't refill the prescription and what do you know, the nausea stopped!

    Never had any problems taking it.

    Old thread but I like ambien. It doesn't put me to sleep right away..actually it might if I let it but I kinda enjoy the first hour or so after an ambien dose. I don't take enough to get crazy visuals and I don't sleep walk or sleep eat or anything crazy. I just get in a relaxed happy little state, and words only computer screen look funny and amuse me.

    God I need a life!

    Holy shit this stuff sounds scary...my doc gave me clonazepam for sleeping issues related to anxiety, it's a type of benzo though so it is NOT meant to be taken every single day, I take it maybe once a week when I really can't sleep. My doc even said after I mentioned that sometimes if I'm really anxious and can't sleep i'll smoke a bowl, that if i needed to use sleeping aids more frequently it would be better to alternate between the two as green isn't addictive, but benzos you can get addicted to super fast...I do that cause I am hella scared of ever becoming dependent on those things and my green has never failed me! Gotta love liberal minded doctors that tell it to you straight!
