I took one over an hour ago and I'm even more awake now than I was before I took it This shit is weak.

I'm gonna take another one and see if that does anything.

2/21/2009 10:19:14 PM

posting on tww probably ain't helping

2/21/2009 10:20:05 PM

lol. $20 says you don't remember this tomorrow.

2/21/2009 10:23:47 PM

Well I climbed into bed after taking it, turned off the tv and tried to fall asleep, and I just tossed and turned.

Man insomnia is the worst thing ever.

2/21/2009 10:25:57 PM

Yeah, I'm glad as hell I don't have it. I had a hard time sleeping for like a week in college for some reason and I about went fucking insane

2/21/2009 10:26:45 PM

Take another one and chug some liquor........report back

2/21/2009 10:26:51 PM

^^ Welcome to my every night

2/21/2009 10:27:16 PM

damn.. i have the ability to sleep anywhere for nearly any amount of time ..and fall asleep within 5 minutes easy

i better knock on some wood

2/21/2009 10:28:40 PM

I'm the same way, as soon as my head hits the pillow (assuming lights/tv are off) i'm gone........for a while

2/21/2009 10:29:48 PM

sometimes i dont have problems falling asleep, but then i'll wake up a couple of hours later and can't go back to sleep.

2/21/2009 10:31:26 PM

unless i'm especially stressed about something, it usually lights out for me within 10 minutes of going to bed. i'll put on the tv with the intention of watching family guy, and am always passed out before the first commercial break.

2/21/2009 10:32:11 PM

Sounds pretty normal to me.

2/21/2009 10:32:21 PM

I recommend Remeron. I used to be an insomniac, but now I take a pill, read for an hour and then I'm out like a fuckin' light.

2/22/2009 1:23:23 AM

yeah, I'm the say way with Ambien. It generally won't really put me to sleep--I'll still toss and turn for an hour or two. I do, however, seem to feel a little better rested when I wake up.

I do OK as long as I can maintain a regular sleep schedule, but I'm a night owl and have a hard time going to sleep until after midnight. I was going through Ambien like it was cool here in Iraq when they had me working the 3am-3pm shift. I never could adjust to that schedule. Once they wouldn't give me any more Ambien, I started just crashing for a few hours when I'd get home from work (which only aggravated my problem of not being able to go to sleep on time), then sleeping for 2-3 more hours after dinner and the gym. In the end, I'd get probably 5 hours per night, but it was split up. Thankfully, they moved me to the noon-midnight shift, and I do pretty well with that.

2/22/2009 2:04:13 AM

noon-midnight seems a whole hell of a lot fucking better to me.. it'd suck taking up your entire day and all..but I mean, there can't exactly be much else to do over there..and that gives you till 4-5am to get to sleep and still get enough sleep before work

2/22/2009 2:06:28 AM

oh man don't fight ambien - it will kick your ass.
If you dont let it take over and you get past half an hour you will be miserable.

next thing you know its going to be 4am and you're going to be seeing elves pissing in your cornflakes

2/22/2009 2:12:06 AM

i try to be in bed by 3am, to allot enough time to get dressed and ready, then walk to work (a little over a mile, i think) and stop to get lunch (breakfast?) along the way. if i don't make it until 0400, no big deal, but I shoot for 0300.

Yeah, me too...but I have trouble going to sleep to begin with. I've been that way since I was a little kid.

2/22/2009 2:12:57 AM

2/22/2009 2:38:08 AM

I ended up taking another one, but never got sleepy so I got on the phone and talked to random people until about 1 or 2.

Then I went downstairs to talk to the concierge for a bit. The guy on the night shift is pretty cool plus he was bored as shit.

So after that I went back upstairs to my place and watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and finally went to sleep around 6.

3.5 hours later I'm awake again

2/22/2009 9:42:47 AM

damn walking around normally after 2 ambien

thats impressive, you must have a huge tolerance

where's my $20, bitch?

i used to have some temazepam that worked great, but my doctor won't prescribe it to me anymore

2/22/2009 9:56:06 AM

sad ambien was what i was going to ask my doctor for to cure my sleep woes.

what other sleep medicines are there? besides like nyquil and shit that totally knocks me out but i like never wake up and feel like a zombie for like 2 days after taking it.

2/22/2009 12:30:07 PM

^any benzos (xanax, etc) should knock you out. i know some people that are prescribed them for sleeping

well damn.

2/22/2009 12:35:18 PM

^^ Just cause it didn't work for JoeNumbers doesn't mean it won't work for you. Give it a shot before finding alternatives.

2/22/2009 12:41:04 PM

trazodone, which used to be used as an antidepressant, is also highly sedative. i know some people who use this when ambien doesn't work for them. i mentioned this to my doctor but since i take prozac he was wary about prescribing me another type of antidepressant.

2/22/2009 12:45:53 PM

lets try this again...

2/23/2009 10:26:22 PM

how much ambien you taking brah ?

2/23/2009 10:28:38 PM

10mg

2/23/2009 10:30:40 PM

I have a stash of trazodone that I use to get to sleep from time to time

2/23/2009 10:30:42 PM

i take two trazodone most nights

2/23/2009 10:31:30 PM

time for a xanny!

2/23/2009 10:31:32 PM

10mg and you didnt trip ?


try 20 brah....

2/23/2009 10:32:14 PM

i did 20 the other night. i stayed awake for 8 hours after i took it

2/23/2009 10:33:33 PM

Fuck Trazodone. My girlfriend has big bottle of that shit in our medicine cabinet. I drank like 2 beers and decided I wanted to go to sleep one night so I took one. I went and laid down and was REALLY fucked up for a bit, but I started to feel nauseous. I got that nasty feeling in my throat like I was totally about to vom, so I went to the bathroom. I then decided I was thirsty so I tried to make it to the kitchen for some water.

Then I collapsed. I fucking fell out. When I woke up, there was broken glass all around me, the water was still running, and the stove (which I had hit with my head on the way down) was moved about a foot.

Fuck that.

2/23/2009 10:35:12 PM

damn Joe.... did you trip though ?



you may have a problem here brah.....

2/23/2009 10:36:29 PM

but you feel asleep right

2/23/2009 10:36:41 PM

^^ no i was conscious and aware the whole time

^ i eventually slept for about 3 hours

2/23/2009 10:37:31 PM

I swear by liquid melatonin

2/23/2009 10:38:05 PM

I just took one. But I always seem to lay awake tripping.

2/23/2009 10:39:23 PM

^ Random question, does the pill melatonin not work for you? Thats what I take and it works pretty well.

2/23/2009 10:40:20 PM

nothing replaces good ol alcohol

2/23/2009 10:41:05 PM

and here comes the trip. My iPod touch has real buttons now cause they are all 3d

2/23/2009 10:51:28 PM

2/23/2009 10:52:20 PM

I always like looking at my hanson poster on the wall. I feel they would sing to me

2/23/2009 10:56:52 PM

trazodone knocks my ass out and I usually sleep later if I take it

powerful shit

I took my script without thinking after drinking all day in the sun at the beach and fell out on the pier... had to be walked to a car and driven home

2/23/2009 10:57:40 PM

god. i love ambien. not only does it fuck me up for a little while before i sleep, but i sleep for a good amount of time, and wake up feeling alright. The only problem is i burn through it like candy

2/24/2009 1:04:22 PM

I'd love to have an ambien trip right now, but I haven't had any of that stuff in years

2/25/2009 1:51:51 AM

I'm on Lunesta, its done nothing to help me sleep.

And the quality of the sleep I do get has gotten worse.

2/25/2009 5:01:49 AM

The reason your pill won't work is because you allow another man to rub wax on your nuts.

2/25/2009 8:00:45 AM

set em up

2/25/2009 9:04:48 AM
