About 3 months ago after taking Ambien because of not being able to sleep due to insomnia and at that time sever sciatica, I got a call from a long time friend of 20 years, he told me i proposed married to him while crying and told him how much i loved him and also told him i took a bunch of pain pills. I guess that same night i called a man i’d brokened up with, as well, because he had too much drama in his life (i was also very in love with this man when i broke up with him). Apparently i only got his answering service and left a message asking him to call me back. I’d been trying not to call him for days, then this happened. When he got a hold of me, by then i knew now what i’d said to my old buddy while on Ambien. I was terrified of what i’d said to my ex, he said i only asked him to call me back, NOT! It gets crazier, for i ended up at a strip club that same night buying a kinda sorta friend lapdances with my money!! I’m a woman buying a guy i didnt like very much dances?! My ex and i eventually got back together only to end up arguing, then he tells me what i said that night. I told him i have a friend with a 10 inches!! And some other shit i dont recall saying. My ex (again) is not a 10incher (which i do not want anyway) but i LOVE him more than any John Holmes but thats what i did. I belittled him while under that shit! Now my 24yo child told me she visited me last week, I DONT RECALL THIS AT ALL. She said my eyes looked weird and i was trying to show her photos of my ex while nude and drinking wine!! She also told me i didnt have much on, asked her to try on 1 of my bathing suits then proceeded to remove my top while the door was wide open?? And some other shit again?! All i wanted was to sleep more than 3 hours a night. Not this, not this at all! mayabe i’ll go back to Xanax?? that one only makes me eat in my sleep.

As a crazy sleepwalker/talker tie a thread (sewing stuff works well) around your wrist and then around something sturdy and when you start to move around on the blackout or sleepwalking in my case the thread gets taut and you go back to sleep on the bed. Psychiatrist taught me this trick after I kept waking up covered in dirt with bruises and cuts everywhere.

This is what I take, too. I’d tried all of the rest, and was either not able to get to sleep, or would wake up feeling like a zombie (not a Jesus zombie, btw….see Evil Beet for the reference).
I get the Vitamin Shoppe’s 3mg extended release. They are amazing!

it should be noted that late night phone calls are another symptom of bipolar as well, although not along with blackouts i don’t think. good luck to you with your diagnosis process, i know firsthand that it can be long and confusing and tiring.

ambien is kind of scary. I knew someone whose wife actually got in the car and drove to the convenience store while blacked out on ambien. that kind of stuff creeps me out.

however, having insomnia myself, I tooootally was excited to take it. turns out, it doesn’t make me tired AT ALL. I stay up just as insanely late, then feel very dizzy the next day. sleeping pill fail.

I had to switch to Lorazepam (generic Ativan) as a sleep aid because of the black disaster. Every night (I took ambien for a year and a half) I would wake up, eat everything I could get my hands on, then go back to bed. Every morning I would wake up and think that my husband or kids trashed the kitchen. Finally I got fed up with it and confronted my husband for being such a dirtbag pig, only to find out that it was me who was the dirtbag piggy that was high on ambien. This totally explained all of the weight I was gaining.

My sister gets drunk on ambien every night then decides to get on facebook. Her status every night around 10 pm is “Woo-hoo. I am high as a kite!” she freaks out in the morning when she sees what she has written because she has no memory of it.

I used to take all those sleeping pills, but after even Tylenol PM made me feel like I was high, my psychiatrist suggested melatonin pills. They work REALLY great!

Dude, I do crazy shit when I take tylenol PM. I got ready for work at 1:00 AM the other day, started my car and everything. I also sleep text, yes I said sleep text, when I take it.
