Barman, on 10/12/2007, -14/+11If you need to sleep, pick up a supplement called Melatonin. It's the same stuff that's in turkey that will put you on your butt. It's far cheaper than Ambien, natural, and works better.
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Make sure you don't take more then 2mg at a time. Melatonin sounds great but your body WILL become dependant on it eventually causing many sleepless nights if you don't have the stuff handy.
  
  And for the record Melatonin is not more effective then Ambien.
- Flummoxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Thanks, but my pineal gland is working fine. Oh and I always thought it was the tryptophan in turkeys.
- sonick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Actually it's Tryptophan that's in turkey, not Melatonin.
- AntBing, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20Go real natural and smoke a joint, you'll sleep great.
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Compensatory Legal Disclaimer: This medication (Tryptophan) may cause nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth or tremor.

- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Great. Turkey sandwiches are addictive. What's next?!
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14if you want to sleep naturally:
  -exercise during the day
  -don't take naps
  -don't consume too much caffeine
  -don't work/read or do any other waking activities in your bed
  
  i've got pretty bad insomnia sometimes and that's how i've learned to deal with it.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I know a stripper that cut all her hair off while on ambien. She was kooky before that for sure but when she woke up, oh, the drama...
- DyDx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The OP is wrong on two counts. First off, melatonin is the neurotransmitter produced in your brain when your biological clock knows it's nighttime to help slow your metabolism and put you to sleep (to oversimplify). It is ONLY an effective sleep aid if your brain does not produce enough of it on its own -- and therefore it is not effective in most cases of insomnia. http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=185302430
  
  Secondly, as has been pointed out, tryptophan is in turkey, probably not melatonin. However, tryptophan is just one of the 20 essential amino acids, and is therefore in every meat product. It may happen to be in higher concentrations in turkey than in other meats, but it does NOT induce sleepiness. This is just a myth that has been debunked by scientists in the last 5 years or so. http://www.physorg.com/news8453.html
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1The human body doesn't like it when you try to play with its natural sleep cycle, which probably explains why it does "bizzarre" stuff when you do. For example, ive been toying around with lucid dreaming, and one of the things your body will do to you is to create false awakenings, which often cause you to loose your lucidity because you believe youre now awake.
- mmortal03, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Even 2mg of melatonin is too much. Generally, the sleep disorder community will tell you to try only around 150-300 mcg (thats micrograms) and find your sweet spot of effectiveness at night compared to grogginess in the morning. Also, if you have to use it long term, you should seek treatment, because your body probably isn't producing it properly for some reason.
- actorboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@ sockpuppets
  
  You were near a stripper when she woke up?

No *****, Sherlock.
- kcap122, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1wrong place for the comment. bury it.
- willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, this is about a year too late.
  
  yawn
- sarahb459, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haha... anybody notice that it feels like you're walking on the moon when you take ambien?
JamesBrown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Ambien is some crazy *****. Take 10mg and then fight it. You'll start tripping harder than you ever have.
- weneedsound, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2This is why I love Ambian.
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Just the other night I took some, and I was playing bubble breaker on my phone before bed and I started thinking I was in the game.
- KiDD420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I shall
- dreamlayers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Is it physically unpleasant like diphenhydramine/Benadryl?
- crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7My wife has serious problems falling asleep (except when I show her who's her crawdaddy).
  
  She trips on Ambien sometimes when her mind just won't settle down. She gets all kinds of tracers and visuals on the *****. I'll catch her doing weird *****, staring at the ceiling fan, moving her hand in front of her face.
  
  Just imagine what the physical side of your body could pull on you when it's trying to sleep, but your mind won't let it.
- kcap122, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5you do not want ot try overdosing on diphenhydramine. the stuff is an antiemetic, so if you overdose and need to get it out of your system, you body can't even puke it up because the vomiting reflex is suppressed.
  
  in any case, yea ambien is pretty cool for tripping. one time, i was trying to come down off of 80mg's of adderall from that afternoon, and i took about 20mg of adderall, assuming it would knock me out. i stayed awake for 5 hours until 6am, heard voices that weren't there, spoke to people that weren't there, and eventually put on fight club to go to sleep. i felt like i was in the movie. it was actually awesome
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1diphenhydramine isn't an antiemetic. it's an anti-histamine. its anticholinergic action is dangerous if you take too much though and will cause a fever-like delerium. also, why would you take adderall to knock out? sounds like you experience amphetamine psychosis.
- friedman420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2so nuts, but you can't remember a bloody thing afterwards
JeremyL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Dude I know people who do all kinds of crazy stuff on these things and the next day never remember it.
- tapedelay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5My girlfriend's mom takes Ambien and sleepwalks. She will stay up all night watching the home shopping network and ordering useless *****. One day I came in and she had multiple packages, proactiv acne medication (she didn't have acne, she justified it with, "Jessica Simpson is so pursuasive. If she promotes it, it must be a good product."), slender-tone belt that builds your abs by electro-shock, depression tapes, nutra system meals (they send food to your house), this thing that shakes your foot sending oxygen through your body, among other things. She is awesome. Ambien for the win.
- Catchpen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I work shift sched and take it to switch from nights to days (Melatonin will help fall asleep for about 5 min). Anyways, I popped one last December and immediately afterwards remembered I had to still order some stuff for Christmas. I got a confirmation email the next day from Amazon with about $200 of extra stuff other than the intended gifts including a Wok, a Wok cookbook and a book about E=mc².
- myborgdrone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you take Ambien and one glass of wine, you will definitely forget the wild stuff you did that night. That stuff is almost like a ruffi. Not that I know what that is like personally. I heard about it. I mean read about it in books. I mean I was told about it. Yeah, one of those.
- ImNotHuman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was given Ambien by my doctor a few years back. After about 3 weeks of using it every night, I woke up about 4:00 one morning, and found myself stretched out on a chaise lounge by the pool at some apartments about 2.5 miles from my home. As bad as that sounds, it was actually worse. The only thing I was wearing was the cross trainers on my feet. I'm not much of a runner, so I ended up walking most of the way back home. Lucky for me, I left the front door unlocked. I found the clothes I had been wearing folded neatly in a pile on the floor beside my computer. I flushed the rest of the Ambien I had.
lonnieh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22"including a case in which a woman painted her front door in her sleep"

seems like a feature to me
- friedman420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ha, imagine how shoddy that paint job must be

  In that same article, someone reported eating a salt sandwich. As in, two slices of bread filled with salt.

Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed: "So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?"

Colin Powell: "Yes. Well, I wouldn't call them that. They're a wonderful medication -- not medication. How would you call it? They're called Ambien, which is very good. You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien."

-- Nov. 5, 2003 interview with former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell

Evidence of bizarre behavior? Pshaw!
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2not medication? what a moron.
offwhite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10They call it "Donnie Darko" behavior. ;)

Great movie, btw.

  That is when the world will end...
Sublime059, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They are just starting to notice this? I know lots of people who trip on Ambien. I would never do it cause I prefer to be in control of myself, but many others enjoy it.
wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Isn't Ambien that medicine that makes you see that purple butterfly?
- monosyth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2...it's a GREEN luna moth. (in the Ambien commercial)

ewc80, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4My mother was prescibed this medication once. She made the mistake of not attempting to go to sleep immediatly afterwards and according to my aunt she spent the next couple of hours talking absolute nonsense and acting extremely strange. In the morning she was just fine but claimed no memory of the night before. Needless to say she has not taken it since. The side-effect profile for this medication reads like the setup for a Stephen King novel.
mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Next thing you know they'll be eating brains....

Ambien is made by the Umbrella Corporation!
josef44, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This story was mentioned on bubba the love sponge because he sleep eats and sleep buys everything online.
MexiNig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1man i have eaten like 5 popsicles in bed on ambien and not remembered till the next morning when I found a bunch of sticky wrappers all over. Food seems to taste better when you are on ambien. It also works the best out of all the different sleeping meds I have tried, and also has the fewest side effects.
destinyland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Interestingly, everyone in the White House takes Ambien, according to Colin Powell. (Seriously!)

IchiroBoston, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ambien has been the only thing that works for me. And yes..... its a lot of fun when you fight it :)
I take it right when I get in bed... or it will become very interesting LOL
Maybe that is why my insurance will only pay for 10 pills per month.
- ewy99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, Just 10 pills a month! Maybe I will stop dogging my insurance carrier so much now. I have to take 10 mg of Ambien a night to get to asleep and my insurance does pay for it. I don't drink anything with caffeine and I exercise regularly, But for some reason my body will not "shut down" for the night, no matter how tired I am. If I DO fall asleep without Ambien, I have a very restless night.
JSatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My sister in law thought she saw her clock on the wall breathing when she took this stuff. Her boyfriend took it and was having a conversation with her for over an hour before he realized that she wasn't there when the conversation started. This is some crazy *****.
ratbear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I went through a small (one week) ambien binge when I was in the experimental highschool student phase. Of course I taking them to get high, so my "side effects' were probably alot more pronounced than the average user. The most bizarre side effect I noticed was when I watched television, everything in the scene, the actors and the set, was so intimitely familiar to me yet distant at the same time. It was like I knew them personally at one point but couldn't quite put my finger on when/how I met them and what the extent of our relationship was. I was fully aware that I was watching tv and they were actors, but I still couldn't shake that bizarre fog of familiarity.

And, like weed and beer, it made smash bros. on the N64 about 100x more fun.
ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Holy ***** I need some Ambien.

TimDenike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I occasionally take ambien when I can't sleep. Just last week, I took an ambien to crash, and when I awoke the next morning, I found that I had eaten a bunch of leftover chinese food from the night before. Next time I take ambien, I'm going to set up a video cam or something and see if I can catch myself in the act!
G-Force, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Ambien should be pulled off the market.

Any medication that causes you to wake up in the middle of the night and make a peanut butter sandwich is obviously not doing what it's supposed too.

BTW for all those popping these things recreationally why not do real drugs like pot or LSD? Taking pills is for losers and rock stars. Besides big pharma doesn't really follow any rules they just pay the right people off....
wannabetenor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This happened to me!!!!!
I had a pomegranate come up and talk to me. . .then some midgets came by to say hi.
- Antha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I had a friend who had a conversation with a group of vagrants in her kitchen, only realizing much later, they weren't there at all. She left some fruity message on my voicemail talking about "Bobby", and she was laughing and chatting it up with them, while trying to leave me a very important message about something one of them said.
sicknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I do not how much Ambien you are taking but I can honestly say I have problems sleeping and take it on a frequent basis and don't recall ever having any side effects. 10mg, to be exact and can't recall ever seeing or talking to flying pixies. =)
- PNWTerraGirl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I feel for you. Insomnia is hell, sleep-deprivation worse. Unfortunately, I too hallucinate when trying to use Ambien or Lunesta. And Klonopin was hellish trying to kick.
hellotyler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ambien is ***** up, it's dangerous, it's unpredictable, and it's lame. While it may help some people get to sleep there is other medications that are tried, true, and far safer then Ambien when taken correctly. I personally have seen a few people 'messed up' on ambien and it is a sad sight - what kind of idiot wants to get completely incoherent, watch text wriggle around on your screen and do nonsensical stuff while talking to people who arn't there and experiencing zero euphoria ? Kids sure are desperate these days...

If you want a decent sleep aid then just ask for any kind of benzodiazipine, the docter will know what is best. Yes, they are slightly addictive but if taken properly they work like a dream and help you get back onto a normal schedule within two weeks. It should be noted that they are not designed to be taken habitually unless you have major chronic problems with insomnia or anxiety. Still, it's the safest drug on the market in my opinion and it won't have you sleepwalking into oncoming traffic, thats for sure.

kevbell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I took some Ambien once and the next day I woke up 900 miles away, wearing a diaper and a wig
Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Be careful, I have heard of people who are not depressed, took a small dose of ambine and work up in a hospital to find out that they downed ever single pill in their house with no memory of it.
agoodtop4u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was prescribed Ambien for insomnia after my lover of 20 years died. One night i decided to take 2 pills instead of the usual 1 (20mg instead of 10) because I was really stressed out. It was a weekend and I though I would just sleep late. I woke up the next morning on my livingroom floor. I later went down to check my mail and my downstairs neighbor asked if I was ok. I said "yes" and asked why. He told me that he saw me standing on the bridge that crosses the creek behind our condos, looking at the water and crying. He said he was afraid I was going to jump in and watched me until after about 30 minutes I went back to my condo. I remembered nothing of this and never took an extra dose after this.
- kevbell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3but you still take single doses? okay...
- agoodtop4u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually Kevbell I no longer take Ambien as I no longer need it. I did continue using it after my incident for another 6 months or so and didnt have any side effects except for gaining 15 lbs. (It gave me presleep munchies, a trade-off I was ok with as it allowed me the sleep I needed to go to work) My point is that if used properly, the side effects should be minimal. Misuse it and of course you're going to have bad side effects.
Photoblog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Every one I know who tried that crap had the weirdest things happen to them, I actually am starting to understand why the bush admin is acting so bizarre now! they are all on that drug... they are all drug addicts!
Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Another year and this thing goes schedule II, or whatever schedule the government designates to prescription drugs that used to be kind of fun until a bunch of idiots ruined it for everyone. Hell, inside of a few months we'll probably see a mainstream press story connecting Ambien use with sleep-murder, or something equally ridiculous. Let's face it, American society wants nothing to do with anything hallucinogenic. Kinda sad, really.
- PNWTerraGirl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0It already has. I can't cite the case because I was browsing the Internet, but a woman murdered her mother while asleep on Ambien. She was acquited, and the judge called it a case of, "Involuntary intoxication." Phew, that's some mean *****.
fabeetz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A long list of "didn't remember any of that" stories could be written after 9 years of 10mg/day prescribed dose. Why still take it after all of the seriously dangerous situations? Insomnia. If you don't have it, you can't appreciate what it means. Without meds, seeing the time drift from 2AM to 3AM on to 5AM when the alarm is set for 6:30, every night, is difficult to describe. Its just chemistry, and there is nothing short of this miraculous medication that can change that equation. Yes, booze is the most frequently used alternative, but it leaves its effects pretty strong during the next day. Ambien leaves a crystal clear mind upon awakening (as long as only 1-5 times of the prescribed dose are consumed - you don't know you've gone beyond that level until the next day when you count the pills to discover why the toasted pesto sandwich is sitting in the toaster oven). It's short term buzz must be worth consuming a 30 day supply in 10 days, but who remembers anyway? The side effects are massive, but they make an even fight out of the the alternative - living with insomnia. Is this dangerous stuff that should be immediately banned? Yes, no doubt. Is insomnia an insidious disease that leaves its suffers to seek desperate solutions? Yes. Is a better alternative worth our society's efforts? Oh, yes. Please.

Please
iamdawlrs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i honestly woke up in the middle of the night, got dressed, drove to 7-11 and crashed my car along the way. somehow i got back in my car and drove to the 7-11 parking lot where i got out of my car and looked at the damage (this was the only 3 second part i remember, but thought was a dream). after all that i drove back home. when i woke up in the morning i felt that my lip was slashed on the inside, but just thought i chewed on my lip during the night. after an hour of looking for my wallet that i knew i left on my night stand before i went to sleep, i realized that the 3 second clip i remembered wasn't a dream at all. i then looked out my window to see my smashed car half on the street, half on my landlords grass. that is a true story. the worst part is that after counting my pills i realized that i was waking up and taking more during my sleep. scary stuff

Gneisbaard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wasn't this in the news like.. half a year ago? Why is this stuff still in use?
kd1s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No wonder, it's a benzo. Lets put it this way, ever had minor surgery of some sort? They use a type of benzo that essentially wipes your short term memory. During the procedure you're responsive, etc. but you'll never know about it.

In essence these drugs are creating zombies. Nice to know.
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ambien isn't a benzo. that's why doctors are pushing it as a sleep med--less addictive psychologically and physically. and benzos are given during surgery to calm you down if they don't want to put you under completely. it will only cause temporary amnesia at higher dosages.
margapantalones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I was given Ambien by my doctor a couple years ago... The only night I took it, I took part in a Care Bear war in a light bulb. After several hours of stressful battling with the Care Bears, I DID sleep wonderfully.
gushgear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Usually don't comment on Digg but really felt like I needed to share an experience here. I took Ambien once, about 5 years ago, for depression related insomnia. I say I only took it once because what happened after was the most bizarre this thing to ever happen to me. While I personally only remember taking the dosage and hitting the sack, my parents, it turns out, spent a majority of the evening trying to keep me from walking out of my house. Apparently I started ranting on and on about an impending alien invasion. I needed to speak to the president about this, and when I wasn't allowed to leave my room, I decided I could physically drill myself out of the house with the pneumatic drill I thought I had on my head. Not having any luck drilling myself out of my room I turn around and realize that the people behind me - my mother, father and sister - weren't my family at all, but a small group of aliens from the invasion. Eventually I calmed down and fell asleep.

After speaking with the doctor who prescribed it, I came to learn that I had an adverse reaction to the drug - which to me sounded like, "We don't know what the hell happened to you." I never took it again, and it's actually listed in my medical records now as a drug allergy. Thinking it was all just some weird occurrence, I found it interesting to read that I wasn't the only one who had a crazy reaction to this drug.
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sounds like the time i took seroquel to sleep. but that's a totally diff. med.
Misterm65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is this what that female astronaut was on? Is this what caused her to put on diapers and drive to Florida?
whatthahump, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i've only taken ambien once.

i was in antarctica, and it was the dead of winter and i hadn't slept very well in about a month. a friend of mine had some ambien and he gave me one. everyone told me that i should just go to bed, but i thought that i should go down the hall to my friend's room instead. all i remember is 2 of my friends playing scrabble and the rest of us were eating those NASTY bertie bott's jelly bellies - the ones that were puke and grass and sardine flavored. what we did was feed one to the person next to us and they had to guess what flavor it was.

they all tasted good to me, sadly. the next day someone told me that i had eaten a vomit one by my own choice - and that i apparently was saying how good it tasted, trying to get others to eat it. no one did.

i never took ambien again.

however now i drink tea with valerian root in it. and it works fabulously.

brada33928, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3another true ambien story. My wife was having trouble sleeping about a year ago, and actually took a half an ambien that was given to her by my mom who has been taking it for years with no side effects. She was winding down, and we were having a conversation when all of a sudden she was like "fire!" "fire!" I was like "huh?" She said that she saw flames shooting all over from behind me, and that I looked like the devil. Then she passed out 3 seconds later. She doesn't remember telling me that. Maybe ambien is a truth serum as well as a sleeping pill.
PNWTerraGirl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I fell asleep (I thought) at my boyfriend's house but woke up the next morning at home. I knew something was amiss. Sent two emails before getting one back from him that floored me. My behavior that night was bizarre and volatile. He does not believe it was the Lunesta I took for the first time. He said he believes I meant the things I said to him and no longer wants to see me. I am crushed. You can HAVE THIS *****. Where's a lawyer. . . .
