Drove to the interstate and went on the wrong way of the highway. I was hit my a transfer truck going 80 miles an hour. Luckily nobody was hurt but I was charged with reckless driving. Shortly after, they put a black box warning on Ambien.
I’m glad you’re ok. Used to take it too. I would sleep walk and have conversations with my husband that I don’t remember, but not anything as serious as what you experienced. ❤️
@@freeman7079 Don't do it! I was on it for years. I gained weight from sleep eating. I had amnesia so I don't recall sleep eating. My kids told me things that I did. I'm now taking Trazadone since I have terrible insomnia.
@@sherinoor6056 my doctor gave me ambien because trazadone caused me to gain weight due to extreme hunger I ate an whole cake one time and stopped taking it so now I’m on ambien and I don’t have the hunger problem with this one. I actually like the ambien
I like Ambien. Unless I take a couple granules over the typical dose. Then I find myself subscribing multiple times to a product I don't want, reminiscing with imaginary people, and chatting with inanimate objects.
I used to be on Ambien years ago and I would get up the next morning my family would be mad or telling me these crazy stories I have 0 recollection of.
Me too!! I once drove to Manhattan looking to pick my mom up from work, I was on the wrong side of the city and when I got home my mom was in bed and furious with me for almost killing others and myself driving on a cloud.
I was prescribed it for a while in high school, and according to my sister, I had a habit of making hard boiled eggs, pouring salt directly in my mouth (usually with eggs already in there), and laughing uncontrollably sounding like Batman's Joker. She got a video one time, including my "hands on the wall so I don't fall" journey back to my bed at the end. And yes, I was repeating that phrase while in transit.
When I was on Ambien it just helped me sleep. I never sleep walked, sleep drove, or sleep ate or anything. What's wrong with all you people that do that while on it geez.
Different people's brains react differently to different drugs. For example, some people can snort cocaine and go about their day feeling absolutely nothing. It would seem that majority of people experience sleep walking on Ambien.
It's different with everyone. And it depends on what dosage you're on. For example people on 5 mg won't have as much as a problem as someone on 10 mg. But if you go up to 20 mg (not recommend by doctors) you'll meet the "walrus" and that's when you start doing some fucked up shit. I've had friends that take 20 mg just to do some weird shit. But you basically have absolutely no recollection of doing anything. Like when you're on 10 mg you'll still have some memory but not as much. But when on 20 mg you are completely GONE
It brings out very bizarre things in me if I go past typical dosing. I lose all memory of anything that happens, its quite an eerie feeling. It also makes food taste horrible, like everythings coated in plastic. It works great if you take it while laying down for bed, taking it any other time and youll find yourself waking up in situations you have zero memory of, even more so than alcohol blackouts.
You were videoing like you were on Ambien too!🤪The instructions used to say 'do not take until you get in bed the for night.' Of course nobody does that! When I was on it, I was sitting in my chair in the living room one morning having my coffee. I looked down at my shoes. They were covered in dirt! Then it all came back to me. I had stepped out on the deck to take a puff, saw some deer down below the house. They didn't run away, so I thought it would be a great idea to go pet one of them. I had slid down a short hill, but manged to get back up. I remember thinking at the time, 'well, that was a dumb idea' and laughing. Not funny.
I'd take it right when I got into bed. My husband could put a timer on how long it would take for me to get up and board the crazy train. The Ambien eating was horrendous, but he'd also find me standing in corners asleep on my feet. I'd also fall off of the toilet repeatedly. Thankfully, Dayvigo has helped my chronic insomnia without the crazy side effects.
I took ambien for years.....I would watch the same movie every night and my fiance would be like again?I was like I haven't seen this in years!!! I ate 2 half gallons of ice cream....text inappropriate things to good friends.....it was the only way I could sleep at all....kinda sleep anyways
Ambien is a strange drug. First time I took it I thought I'd read for 10 mins next thing I knew I woke up in bed about 6 hours later, had no recollection of putting the book down or turning off the light to get in bed. Hopefully I never left the house like some people do! This never happened again but other times I had strange hallucinations after taking it like my curtains rippling like crazy.
Same here with Ambien. It had to be 3 different things, like a piece of cheese, a pickle and a radish, lined up on the counter. I'd eat and go to bed.🤔What is Lunesta like?
Not necessarily. I encouraged my friends and family to record me while I was delirious from sleep deprivation or high from sleeping pills that didn't sedate me enough to actually put me down. It's funny stuff.
Trust me, it's not just you. I've had recurrent bouts of insomnia since high school and I can pop two tablets in one go and barely feel anything. I don't get any blackouts either. All it does is make me a bit dizzy, and on the occasion that it does help me fall asleep, I'm wide awake after 4 hours or so. All these reactions you see on YT with people doing weird stuff always look fake to me.
@@SupremeDior He was grazing. Also, it can be _surprisingly_ tough to get someone wandering around on ambien to go to bed. My mom used to do this kind of thing a lot, and it's just so much easier to minimize danger than it is to tell them what to do when they're already fighting sleep.
My doctor tried prescribing me Ambien today for my insomnia.she told me the side effects include sleep walking, sleep eating, sleep driving ect😂said o hell no I will stick to my melatonin. How is this shit legal
Do not listen to the comment below. do NOT take ambien. My mom takes it and i have to watch her while she sleepwalks because she has hit her head and even had seizures from it. Whatever u do find an alternative sleep medication, this shit damages relationships
Ambien is a very interesting drug to say the least. For many people it works great with minimal side effects. For others it can definitely cause sleep walking. It’s also shown promise for waking people from comas. There is definitely a reason you need a prescription for it. Though in my opinion even though they were often abused as party drugs they should bring back qualudes because those worked a lot better with far less side negative effects. Or he’ll even maybe low dose benzodiazepines but those can’t be used daily (well nightly) very safely. I personally am a fan of the weed and benydrill method however.
The first time i took it i saw 4 little leprechauns that no one else could see. They were about 2 inches tall and were walking in a line. I renember the second one in line did a front flip and landed on his top hat which bounced him like a spring back to his feet completing the flip, It was wild.
Sould not be laughing it's not funny I am recovering from Ambien I took it for 9 years and I kept accidentally overdosing while I was sleep walking it's addicting don't laugh it's serious
I was doing all kinds of things including wanting to drive our car. I would try to leave the house. It took me 2 hours to eat 4 toaster strudels. I was belligerent to people in the house.
No actually these are solid good beautiful friends. I have this behavior exactly without medication. The best thing you can do is stay up and ensure we don't harm ourselves. Waking us up can be dangerous. These are OG real friends. It's perfectly fine to laugh and record. I promise!!!
