ambien

[aoao]

i've begun taking ambien for my insomnia a few days ago, and i think it works great but i'm scared that i'm going to get addicted to it. does anyone else take it? do you feel dependent to it? i always thought that i get such bad insomnia because of anxiety. i try not to worry or think too much when i fall asleep, but my insomnia is just horrible. sometimes i can't even sleep when i take ambien, and that's not very healthy i don't think -___- you're supposed to sleep eight hours when you take it. i don't think i've gotten eight hours of sleep ONCE while taking it! it's sad. i don't understand why my insomnia is so bad, i'm happier and less anxious now. i feel healthy and stuff, my situation just sucks. i kind of wish i still smoked weed, just at bedtime. i'm afraid that if i smoke weed my anxiety will get severe again.

ambien? never heard of it - what is it? where do you get it? so it is addictive hey, mmmm.... in that case i don't want to know. okay i have changed my mind - enlighten me - please.

hahaha you're cute.

ambien is a prescription sleep aid. it's habit forming and you're not supposed to take it for longer than 7-10 days. if you get stuck on it, you're ...stuck. but it's nice being able to sleep >_> if you take 3 pills of it, you'll heavily hallucenate. if you drink with it, you'll get fucked up too. 8O

hahahaha, i just made a cute picture related to ambien, so i figure i'd post it here.

my friend wants me to mail him some ambien and his girlfriend says no so i'm trying to keep him off the idea, and we have this inside joke where we call him hamsterkun.. so this picture is dedicated to my buddy -_-

Cool picture 8)
So have you ever hallucinated on the stuff ? Does it produce feelings of euphoria or just knocks you out ?
It sounds almost dangerous - i guess that is why it is prescribed.
So getting stuck on it would mean that you would'nt be able to sleep without it - wait there - not being able to sleep in the first place is why you take it. :?

haha..

i don't have health insurance so i bought it off of the internet from el salvador. LOL. i was sure to read about it a lot. this guy was like.. IT'S ADDICTIVE? MY DOCTOR DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME THAT! so.. at least i'm educated about it i guess. :? i haven't really hallucenated from it, but i've had some dreams that are so strange that i feel uncomforttable depicting them 8O hopefully i'll be able to get off of ambien and sleep well, naturally, soon.. i've been able to take naps now and then without drugs! i think that's a start.. bleh. it's common for people to suffer from insomnia because of anxiety. i always thought that i loved sleep, but i could sleep so much because i would smoke so much weed. i quit smokin herb and now look at me. -_-

I have been waking up at 3 in the morning unable to go back to sleep because my mind wouldn't stop. I recently heard about Kava Kava for a sleep aid, that it was as effective as prescription tranquilizers but had no side effects. Since taking Kava Kava I have no sleep problems. It takes away the churning stomach that comes with negative repetitive thots and even if I wake up I go right back to sleep. It's a natural supplement and apparently works best in liquid form like gelcaps. And its not addictive and you can take it as long as you want. Great stuff.

Well, i'm interested!

My understanding of meds might be limited or skewed. My view is from an uncontrolled substance standpoint, which makes me wonder how ambien could be of any use.

We have uppers & downers, and i most definitely like the former, because i am naturally quiet, and thrive on anything giving me excitement.

Insomnia is a minor problem for me. I have a few meds i'm stuck with due to epilepsy - to keep me quiet - barbituates i don't like, making me itchy when i'm trying to get to sleep. Keppra makes me very irritated, arrogant, and some self-control required to reign my violence! These two seem opposite!

I don't like eg. Heroin, valium... Some enjoy it... Ketamine. That sounds very much ambien. Not my choice area.

Getting out of my sa is lsd or MDMA!

I think i have problems now, because i intelligently decided to keep these favourites alone for long term, leaving me a bit depressed, with my prescribed anti-depressants.


Probably 2 years plus of Keppra means i often take hours to sleep, wake up about 3 or 4 and sometimes no more sleep. My barbituate phenytoin, at night, maybe gets me to sleep better. Sounds like a rubbish combo. Codeine for migraine gives me good sleep.

I think daily dosage is a terrible idea. Docs just cover their backs by turning us into zombies. We should have what we want at the right time.

I'd prefer to die on a fantasy session of mushrooms, LSD, and MDMA all at once, rather than official 24/7 zombie downers, trying to find work, for the rest of my life.

What i like as a sleep aid is to read a complex, challenging book for two hours before going to bed...

Actually, a pleasant lady might be able to help me with getting a good sleep, if i knew any, and i would have plenty to offer, too.
