1/8/2009 7:51:31 AM

srsly?

1/8/2009 10:41:06 AM

I mean I was groggy this morning

1/8/2009 12:09:39 PM

Might want to uhh, not, take sleeping pills.

1/8/2009 12:20:44 PM

i've always woken up refreshed when i was on ambien

1/8/2009 12:33:27 PM

^^if I didn't take them i'd be up till 4 in the morning and have to wake up at 7....no good

1/8/2009 12:46:12 PM

^been there done that

1/8/2009 12:48:12 PM

it's possible that you either need to take a smaller dose or go to bed earlier.

1/8/2009 12:55:35 PM

sounds possible to me that you need to get the fuck over it, go a couple days on <3 hours of sleep and then your body will naturally readjust to go to bed earlier when it needs more. It is what the rest of us non-medicated folks have to do.

1/8/2009 1:10:47 PM

that doesn't happen for all people for whatever reason. yes, it SHOULD happen but it doesn't

1/8/2009 1:16:07 PM

if you still feel it when you wake up....

just go to bed earlier, retard

its gotta say on the bottle to allow 8 hours after dosing

fucking retard, not everyones body adjusts, its called insomnia

1/8/2009 1:20:47 PM

^^it does

and if you still feel drowsy then take less. actually you should probably try taking less anyways.. taking the least amount that helps you is generally the best way to take most things

well she took one and an hour later was wide awake so i told her maybe she should take a second

i believe in some parasomnia disorders like teeth grinding and sleep walking, night terrors

but the insomnia, inability to fall asleep.... that always seems to correct itself with time (or treatment for underlying anxiety etc)

i know a few ppl who it knocked the hell out the first night or two but after that really didn't make them that sleepy.. hopefully she isn't one of them that ends up that way

1/8/2009 1:27:18 PM

well i'll tell you what, im not taking any kind of medication, and im not drinking anywhere near as much as i used to, so if my insomnia cures itself ill let you know

Saps, MD

1/8/2009 1:28:24 PM

haha ya, def dont come to me for medical advice

SHIT AINT WORKING? TAKE SOME MORE!

1/8/2009 1:29:20 PM

it might. do you get a moderate amount of exercise every day? i take this position because i deal with a lot of people who have insomnia due to cutting out a drug/drugs... it always seems to fix itself once the system gets back to normal

then again, like i was saying, sometimes it takes xanax or valium before they can sleep. but thats anxiety related and not directly related to problems w/ the sleep cycle

[Edited on January 8, 2009 at 1:31 PM. Reason : ^ha, most doctors would say the same damn thing]

1/8/2009 1:30:49 PM

i am now, ive been exercising every day this week

1/8/2009 1:34:43 PM

this is some powerful shit man

1/10/2009 4:05:09 AM

DO WANT

1/10/2009 6:25:15 AM

back during those days, I took 6, stayed up all night, told my friend IM boxes were nothing more than movable post it notes, went to the grocery store barefoot and bought 4 boxes of gushers, played perfect dark and thought it had the best graphics of all time, and kept thinking my cat was going to get killed because all my posters suddenly turned into 3D

1/10/2009 9:36:02 AM

take ambien, drive to bf house, profit

1/11/2009 1:33:22 AM

how to i get my doctor to prescribe that shit

1/11/2009 1:34:20 AM

tell your doctor you are having trouble sleeping and would like to try ambien?

1/11/2009 1:36:07 AM

they tried me on 4 different prescriptions prior to this

it sounds lame but it is so wonderful and has greatly improved my quality of life. (yeah, i know it sounds uber lame but whatever)

1/11/2009 1:38:50 AM

1/11/2009 1:49:58 AM

i, too, have done ambien, refrained from sleeping afterwards, and saw strange things as a result.

1/11/2009 1:50:45 AM

idk yall

i've taken ambien and it really didnt bother me a bit....a dozen beers seems to work much better at putting one in the right mood to go to sleep....

1/11/2009 1:59:48 AM

when i was in middle school my parents had me on a high dose of ritalin which i didn't need at all to try to treat misbehavior, I can easily concentrate for as long as I like, I just hated everyone, typical pissy 14 year old syndrome. The unneeded ritalin had the kind of effects you hear about with meth. I couldn't sleep, I got fixated on things. I began to have weird nightmares and sleep paralysis with hallucinations. Once I woke up and the light in my basement bedroom wouldn't turn on, I walked into the hallway by the furnace, also without working lights and night time outside the window, I went up the stairs to the kitchen and when I opened the door it was morning outside, I looked back down the stairs and it was night outside that window still. I went into the kitchen and what turned out to be an actual, non-dream day began. that was a rough year.

The best part about tripping on ambien isn't the trip, it's talking about the trip afterwords. Especially the completely disconnected associations that are made (I thought X was going to happen because of unrelated but equally trippy Y).

1/11/2009 2:52:16 AM

bah. it's been awhile since I did this. i took all my nightly meds and then realized as I was crawling in bed that I had no idea exactly how long a voiding cysto-uthrogam takes. And I have to get him to clinic for labs and then home to see his PT and CDS. So I grab my lap top and start reading about a VCUG and before I know it I'm looking around suspiciously.

1/15/2009 12:21:05 AM

everything is LOLOL right now

1/21/2009 1:00:25 AM

This thread reminds me of how much I miss sleep

And therefore, xanax

1/21/2009 1:05:41 AM

i love ambien

1/21/2009 1:07:46 AM

oh boy is that time of night again

1/21/2009 1:33:49 AM

i, too, have done ambien, refrained from sleeping afterwards, and saw strange things as a result.

1/21/2009 1:57:39 AM

Jen needs to donate to my cause.

1/21/2009 1:58:56 AM

my psychiatrist used to give me prescriptions for ambien with like three refills

and then the next week I'd ask him for another script, and he'd forget about the refills or something, so I'd take the new prescription to another pharmacy

eventually the pharmacies compared notes and called my psychiatrist, and he got really pissed...it was interesting, actually, cuz they're supposed to offer unconditional acceptance, rather than rage at you

1/21/2009 1:54:46 PM

set em up
