Thread: Anyone else use Ambien?

yup..my mother says I would go off on a rant and say the weirdest things; none of which I could later recall.

This is very common and I think it is called becoming a "Ambien Zombie". My friend's dad will take it and do fucked up shit and not remember in the morning.

If it makes you trip right before you go to sleep, what does that do to a person's dreams or nightmares?

I tried this stuff after my Mom died because I could not sleep. You are supposed to fall asleep quickly after taking it..not me. I was still up 4 hours after taking it. Never worked and I even gave it a few days.

You sleep with your fiance before you are married.... Tsk, tsk.

I remember zero dreams. I assume I have them but they're locked in the deep recesses of my brain.

For instance last night I asked (on this site) for some info on playing downloaded TV programs. (By the way, thanks DOMS!) Not 15 minutes later I took an Ambien while watching the last 5 minutes of one of these TV shows. The next thing I remember I was wearing my cranberry juice and my laptop was no longer working. I must have went and got a towel but I couldn't tell you how. I then find myself waking up (about an hour later) next to my laptop on my couch at 1:00am. The laptop is in setup mode and it can't find the HD. Next thing I remember it was 2:30am and I again woke next to the damn laptop. I was working on trying to fix it but I can't remember a damn thing. Scary stuff!

I've got one hell of a mess to clean when I get home.

I have taken Ambien 4 almost 5 years now. Ambien causes people to trip just a little if they don’t go right to sleep after taking it. The harder you fight it the stranger your behavior will become.

I was a sleep walker/talker before I ever started ambien, but now I am much worse. My roommates tell me these hilarious stories of the stupid shit that I do. Hell, last night my roommate said I walked into the living room naked as a jaybird with a confused look on my face. He said that he started laughing because he knew that I was sleep walking, but I only turned around calmly and walked back into my room.

I have chucked my laptop case out into the backyard; I have notified roommates of bombs and dead bodies under our apartment. The list goes on and on. I might have to install a trip wire in my room to keep from walking outside and hurting myself on the stairs.

Thank god! I'm not alone.

We should compare notes. I have 3 weeks worth of these stories and outside of the destruction that I've caused they're F'ing hilarious.

I fuck my diet up sometimes too. It really pisses me off, because I work so hard, then I eat an entire half gallon of ice cream (roommate’s ice cream btw), then go back to sleep with no recollection. Now I have my roommate bitching at me about eating his fucking ice cream, and I am swearing up and down that I didn’t do it.

I then have a flashback of some sort of ice cream dream. I usually just put two and two together and come to the conclusion that I probably did eat his ice cream during an ambien stupper. The worst part is there went my fucking cheat meal for the week, and I wasn’t even awake to enjoy it.

He goes over to your place when he sleep walks?!

Kooky...

Another problem is once you get labeled an "Ambien Zombie", people start blaming you for everything. The TV remote might go missing then your roommates are bitching at you.

"I don't even watch TV", I say. But they usually come back with, "you were probably on fucked up on ambien and through it in the garbage or something."

It seems almost every morning my fiances wakes me with "do you remember what happened last night?". It's becoming one of those scary phrases you never want to hear again.

Apparently it makes you a sex fiend as well. She told me the other night we had sex bareback and I umm...you know...umm...inside her. She tried to stop me and pull me out but apparently she lost. I could be a daddy and I wouldn't even remember the conception.

Nah, already rolling on 3/18. Doubt she would show much by then so we're good. Just no drinky for her. I'll drink enough for both of us.

I have a prescription of Ambien for nights when I'm too wound up to sleep, I dream heavily when I take that, a few times I've woken up during a dream and still saw the dream transposed over the real image of my dawn lit bedroom it was just like a mescaline trip I had in a room with the curtains drawn during the afternoon.

Here's a post I made in the Lucid Dreaming thread:

I took Ambien and Talwin and Zanaflex just now, everythin sounds distorted from the tv so my mind is turning it into a family fight sleep outside finally the Mom is saying "You two will stay out under the stars." They say "bullshit not so the Buzzuerg can find us and take all of our fluids and reinstall bio-gell even though our CNS still reacts with it, sometimes it overreacts and you end up jack crackin the dude in front of you inline cause a simple shuffle foot forward command had crossed with an immediate and intense turn eyes command which was triggered by the dashing dame in aisle 0 but instead switched track like a railcar and headed to your foot tossing it straight into the mans frills for thrills beneath the hills real estate. Well thogh my good man you lucked at the same instant when the shuffle signal to you feet hit your eyes and you fluttered as though startled by the ravishing broad who takes this as a sign of interest by a gentleman, since generally most men stare.

yo i have sum weird shit happen to me once in awhile. idk if its like wat u said above manic lucid dreamin or whatevr but ill go to sleep straight and wake up in middle of night and ill focus on an image and a face will transform from whatever im looking at or sum weird shit like that. like last time it happened a month ago i woke up and first thing iseen was aplant and the green vines turned into snakes. the worst was when their was sum old lady in the middle of my living room when i woke up from sleeping on couch she was lookin at me and i was paralyzed i couldnt move and she started walking over and i felt my neck like i wanna describe it as being breathed on but idk i really cant say how it felt but my neck felyt mad weird and i couldnt move.that scared the shit outta me but this has been happenin for like 4 years i guess so i dont really get scared anymroe if i see sumtin i jsut close my eyes go back to sleep. wtf i never took acid maybe i smoked some laced weed ur sumtin back in the day???

I used to take a small snippet off the end of a 10mg Ambient crush and snort it and then eat some weed buttered bread. Then I would take a bunch of redlines. Then I'd go to the mall with my GF. It is a great way to spend hours in womens clothes stores because you're suddenly alot more social and the colors of everything really standout. You feel connected to everybody especially your GF so when shes asking how something looks you have more input than "Yeah thats nice...." The best thing is the euphoric feeling that strips away any inhibitions of talking to people. I would talk to anyone, in fact I almost got into trouble because the people I chose to speak with most often were super hot Asian chicks and the thing was they were all showing interest in me, one told me she was going to a party that night and asked if I wanted to go, I told her I was spending the night with my GF, she winked at me and said i could bring her along too. Then another girl working at a jewelery booth started up a conversation with me while my GF was looking at some hair clips at another little kiosk, anyway this girl was fascinated with my eyes, she said there was something about them that made them look gorgeous and asked if I was wearing contacts. I said no, thats just their natural color and she started looking closer about 6 inches from my face, I thought she was about to kiss me! She started picking out every color in my eyes, a little brown, light turquoise, blue, jade and a yellowish-green gerber daisy blooming from my pupil. If you can handle it I recommend it to you shy guys cause you feel like a mack daddy on that mix....

How do you get the stuff?

Gotta kill a few people.
Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.

That doesn't sound good....Let's just hope you don't get violent...

My friend used to take a really strong sleep-aid, but one of the side-effects was diabetes...so yea he quit that and now he takes ambien.

Sometimes after he takes it, he will call me at like 3 in the morning and leave the most hilarious messages on the phone.

Nope, I'm not a violent guy. Apparently I'm clumsy as hell but not violent.
