@FROY Those are all Psychiatric labels from Psychiatry not understanding the body inside and out. Symptoms happen, yet Psychiatric turns the other cheek to check out causes and effects.
This is a crazy drug. I basically ate half the stuff from my fridge and then started ordering stuff online. After that I took some Ambien and went to sleep
I tell people that ask me about it to not take your pill until your in bed for the night ready to go to sleep. I’ve found it’s when I try to do just one more task that I experience hunger and forgetfulness. Never had hallucinations but I can see how that might occur. If I take two pills I’m up all night.
Follow the dang directions and GO TO BED after taking the ambien and most of the issues can be avoided. I've taken it for years and i've experienced the side effects when you dont go right to bed.
I just started Ambien after holding off for years. Wish I didn’t listen to videos like this. The only effect it had was making it possible to fall asleep in about 20 minutes. No problems whatsoever. Most of the issues were from women & ppl over 65 and/or taking it with other meds or alcohol. It’s been a miracle drug for me.
People who take ambien for kicks are the problem. Especially with alcohol. I take an ambien at bedtime as prescribed. Some people will abuse an effective med and create bad publicity. It has helped me a lot and obviously has helped you.
My room mate uses it, never seen any problems except sleep walking, sometimes will do things and then forget later that she did it. but never seen any real problems.
I use it every day because my doctor prescribed it to me and told me to take one at bedtime everyday and honestly it does work for me, i consider it a safe drug when used as prescribed.
@@bmanrandom893 I used to abuse it but I stopped because I was getting chest pains. After that I did a little research on it and it turns out it increases your risk of heart attack by 50 percent. It's really not good for your heart, if you can manage without it then do that.
Veteran with PTSD and chronic insomnia I've been taking it for about 6 years now never really had any problems except for a couple of sleep eating my wife said I ate a whole box of cereal one time 😂but other than that I have to have it to get a decent nights sleep. Long term effect? 🤔
Respect your service, man. I have a sister who was in the British Royal Navy and got PTSD from her time in Sierra Leone. The ambien is not good for your heart. It gave me chest pains and I had to discontinue use. It may be worth your time to have a look into that if you are on it long term. There are other sleep meds it can be replaced with like Nitrazepam.
@@tutsybassista I didn't have any symptoms from it for a long time and then they developed very suddenly. The longer you're on it the greater the risk. The logic you're using here is like saying that a smoker hasn't got cancer so they may as well carry on smoking because they have no problems...yet.
@@silverbullet2008bb I am taking it for a decade no with zero problems. I am jogging working out a lot everyday. It’s the diet , lack of exercise and family genetics that is the number one issue.
It's when people mix it with alcohol is when they sleep walk/drive. Some people are totally irresponsible with this drug and spoil it for those of us who use it as prescribed.
I used to brag about how quickly I'd fall asleep after going to bed, but almost overnight, I couldn't fall asleep anymore or if I did doze off, I didn't stay asleep. It has been a miracle for me. To make it even safer, take it after you get in bed, watch a little t.v. and you just fall asleep. I've never done anything crazy on it. I would be very anxious if I couldn't get it.
Is it true that it makes you sleep walk and do stuff a heard of a guy who cooked a turkey mash potato's the works eat it went back to bed woke up and phoned the cops
I've been told by my doctor not to take more than two 10 mg tablets a day. I take 10 a day (100 mg). OFC, I split the dose into two or three smaller ones. This drug does miracles when you're suffering from an anxiety disorder and its symptoms are unbearable. But I'v mixed it with a beer or two and had no hallucinations or agitation. BTW. I also use lorazepam, but I always stick with the dosage, 2 x 1 mg tablet a day.
I'm three years off and still suffering severe rebound insomnia. Good luck to all of you. If this drug is suddenly not available, many of you are going to suffer greatly.
I take 5mg two times a week, half an hour before I want to sleep. I've never had a problem, though sometimes it doesn't work. Usually, I get a great night's sleep.
I had the furniture in my bedroom talking to me first time I took it. Many times had conversations with people that I don’t recall next day. Also, sending nudes to people 😢 very embarassing!
Dr mentioned, interacción check, avoid polypharmacy medication , used as need it, watch for side effects, or better avoid and find a position night shift as security 😀
It’s so weird it’s like I was half asleep and half awake I remember just waking up and the last thing I remember I was eating cereal and then I went to sleep, but it works, but the side effects are kind of weird
The FDA was wrong. This drug is the only drug that works to keep you asleep all night long. My son with autism takes huge doses and has no effects at all.
That fda cut for women is stupid! I was on 10mg for 2 years not one problem slept great then because of all of this shit my doctor had to drop me to 5mg still not one problem other than not sleeping worth a shit so I decided to double up and take 2 5mgs and then I run completely out by the middle of the month. I know tons of people who take ambien and none of them have problems on it either also some need less some need more so it should the patients and doctors deciding what a patient needs. If I've done fine on 10mgs for 2 years then keep me on 10 if the next person didn't do well on 10 drop them to 5 and so on
Lori everyone is different and not all doctors know what they hell they are doing. some do it for a job others do it to actually help. 5mg VS 10mg if 5 doesn't work and 10 does why did they drop your dosage? I thinks its so you would have a reason to show back up and make them more money. Not solve your problem.
I was told by my doctor that the FDA does not allow them to prescribe 10mgs anymore. But that's a lie because I know several people on 10mgs I confronted her and she said that she just couldn't do it.
i use to raid the refrig almost every night i told my doctor i was sleep walking to my kitchen and i woundnt even remember it i was taking it for a few years . my doctor said there where no cases of what am talking about after awhile i change to Melatonin (not sure of the right spelling) anyways it was a lot better after awhile i stop taking it all togther

I got up in the middle of the night, walk to the corner of my living room and went P while my children were begging me not to. Teenage children. I had to stop taking it. I would get up and cook entire meals and have no memory of it. One time I played poker all night long lost $5000 and have no memory of the entire event.
I don't like it. It doesn't really help me sleep and if it does it gives me nightmares. I think it effects men too. Not just women..it also can increase appetite and it always makes me feel depressed when I wake up. I rarely use it. Sonata worked better for me but I only had that a short period of time..now my Dr won't give it to me. I'm going to ask again for sonata. I think it worked better and I didn't feel weird when I woke up ect.
