Oh, thanks...

I do have insomnia, and I already took 2 different drugs prescribed by my doc - I don't know the translation in english of the names of these drugs... But, they make me dream a LOT... it's annoying!

Yes, I have! Lucky me! I used to work as a lighting engineer at a large auditorium that was rented out by different groups. A Buddhist group rented it, and to my surprise, Orlando Bloom walked into the backstage area. I was in shock! I talked to him for a little while about religion, since I didn't know he was Buddhist (I knew my religion minor was good for something!) and even got a hug, but didn't think to take a darn picture with my cell phone.

But boy, was he gorgeous!

Anna, I am so jealous, he is my favorite star of all. He seems like he would be really nice in person, sorry to get off topic.

meglaulanmar · 12-05-2007, 08:48 AM

Oh my gosh... I didn't even put the 2 and 2 together on that one... you are right! All of us dreaming about nomes.... dwarfs... weird. I wish someone would study the hullicinations and see if that is more prevelant. Wonder what part of the brain it stimulates to make us think of dwarfs and nomes... seems so specific!!! Actually it is almost scarey!

Thanks for the warning. I wouldn't want to land up on my front lawn in my pjs.

Same here! I recently saw something that he wore in one of the Pirates movies and I was so tempted to throw caution in to the wind, and grab it and put it on...but I like not being in jail...so....

I take Ambien too. You def. have to go to bed as soon as you take it. If you stay up, you start doing all kinds of wierd stuff. It causes very vivid dreams. My Husband got mad when I first started taking it and wanted me to stop because he said it made me weird. The dreams are so real that sometimes they seem like memories instead of dreams. I have to stop and think...Did that happen, or did I dream it?

Prissikitty · 12-05-2007, 10:10 AM

My daughter has a friend that has weird reactions to Ambian. She got scared the second time it happened and won't take it anymore. Anyway, the first time she took it, she went to bed, and everything seemed normal. But she woke up downstairs on the couch. No biggie, right? Wrong. Apparantly sometime between her bed and the couch she went to Walmart, did a ton of shopping, paid and fell asleep on the benches at the entrance. The employees woke her and put her in a cab to go home. The cabbie even brought her bags to her door. When they went to pick up her car they asked inside about it and the manager told her what had happened. He thought she was drunk. She had no memories of it at all.

The second time a similar thing happened, but she went to BestBuy and bought a laptop. The thought of driving like that and not remembering is so scary. You could end up anywhere.

When my daughter told me, I thought it sounded like a great excuse for shopping, but her friend was really upset about it and truley did not remember. She won't take it anymore.

Wal-Mart!?

Holy crap that is scary!

meglaulanmar · 12-05-2007, 10:23 AM

I heard about other people driving places on it and not remembering... that is insane! I bet if they truly knew how much that happens they would take it off the market... but... for those of us who love it and those who are addicted to it... that would be a real tragedy so.... shhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

Lexi Rae · 12-05-2007, 10:44 AM

i love ambien,, dont drink on it though...never ever... found myself on the
floor a few times... you just pass out, i dont do that anymore,,i know better

be careful

meglaulanmar · 12-05-2007, 10:47 AM

can't imagine what they would be like if you drank on them! Holy cow... if I stay awake a few extra minutes on it I am drunk as a skunk....lol

TobyIIsMom · 12-05-2007, 10:51 AM

Oh no. Now I am starting to get worried. I was recently put on Lunesta and I loved it ...no halluncinations and helped me sleep real well. But it left the worst taste in my mouth. So the doctor wants me to try Ambien....but after hearing all these stories I am kinda worried. This should be interesting when I try it tonight. I hope I don't halluncinate.

But one question...do you find that if you get 7 to 8 hours on it like it says that you still feel groggy the next day? I am just hoping it doesn't make me groggy the next day. I usually only sleep for 7 hours not really 8. With Lunesta, I felt great the next day...sleepwise anyway.

Also are these halluncinations more prominent in Ambien or Ambien CR or is it about the same? Any other side effects that I should know of?
