Anyway, yeah, I’ve definitely done some weird stuff on Ambien. The one I remember the most was an elaborate ribbon-and-pipe-cleaner extension I made for the chain on the ceiling fan. It was…uh…faaancy.
My biggest problem with Ambien is the way it makes things taste. I tell myself “don’t eat anything this time!!!” but invariably I’ll wake up wanting a midnight snack (because of my surgery I get hungry more frequently than most people) and whatever I eat always tastes like crap and feels like sand in my mouth. It’s horrid… really, really horrid.
I have a prescription for it because my Wellbutrin can cause really bad insomnia sometimes–like three days with no sleep, but fortunately not very often–but I almost never take it anymore. I’m more likely to just take some benedryl or something and get to sleep that way if I need help.
So that’s what happened! I took it for a while and would have no memory of little things here and there. It really didn’t work particularily well for me and I use something else whenever I can’t sleep. What did help was xanax so I could stop my mind whirling and the whatever-it’s-called pill can work.
Eva Luna, does the melatonin ever give you horrible dreams? The once I tried it scared the heck out of me.
A few years back melatonin was all the rage and everyone took it for sleep problems. Then there were some drawbacks that came to light, and people looked for other alternatives. Melatonin is a hormone, and hormones are powerful. I recommend checking with your doctor before taking it.
Nope, but sadly I think I’m developing a tolerance to it. I take the smallest dosage I’ve ever seen for sale - 1 mg) and it doesn’t work like it used to.
:: looks at watch :: Let’s hope it works right now. This is probably the 3rd time this week I’ve been awake at this hour.
