- thegrantman, on 11/13/2008, -1/+44You ain't kidding. I was on Ambien for a year.
One day I found out that I'd been sneaking out every night and screwing the hell out of the neighbor.She's nineteen,blonde,busty,and beautiful.
My girlfriend found out about it and was pissed.
I pointed out this little known fact and now she understands it was all the drugs fault.
Thanks,Ambien. - fejjfunklamella, on 11/13/2008, -2/+39zzzzz....om nom nomzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
- RSMiller, on 11/12/2008, -2/+30Ambien and a fifth of Wild Turkey made me rearrange all the furniture in my house once. I don't recall that being an adverse side effect mentioned in the medical literature that came with the prescription.
- inactive, on 11/13/2008, -0/+26No more Ambien for me. It made me do weird things.
Once I changed my entire myspace profile and made it entirely Scientology-themed, using screenshots from that one South Park episode.
It was awesome, but I had no recollection of doing it. - castletech, on 11/13/2008, -0/+19I have no idea how this drug even passed. The first few nights I fell right asleep. After that I would roam the house just doing weird stuff. Half the stuff I did not even remember. I ate about 3 large bowls of cereal a night. I used to live on the water and one night I found myself up to my neck just standing in the bay. The last night I took it I found myself in my truck driving in a robe with the tires scraping the curb.
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -1/+19I've tried ambien a few times, and it is a weird drug. It will make you tired, but if you do wake up in the middle of the night, you feel strange. So I can see how it could make people do weird things. I've never gluttonously sleepwalked though.
- sHockz, on 11/13/2008, -0/+15i took 3 ambien and tried to stay away. somehow i drove to a friends house and passed out naked on her bed.... >.< doh!
- Jeffler, on 11/13/2008, -1/+16TAKE MOAR
- balibones, on 11/13/2008, -4/+19I LOVE Ambien. Has anyone ever taken it and NOT gone to sleep? It's like acid without all the paranoia.
- diggerpleez, on 11/13/2008, -1/+15WARNING LABEL: Weed may also cause midnight binge eating.
- Ganpachi, on 11/13/2008, -3/+16I thought the meme was "***** you. Two of my friends died taking prescription medications!"
Way to civil for the internet. - inactive, on 11/13/2008, -2/+14Stop taking dangerous drugs.
Smoke weed. - sqrt2, on 11/13/2008, -0/+12Doctor gave me some Ambien CR to try when I wasn't sleeping. Second night I took it I woke up in my car the next morning, fully dressed and had no idea how I got there. My last memory was taking the pill and falling asleep. It was scary. Luckily I was not driving.
Lunesta works great for me though and I've never heard of anyone sleep walking on that. - 2uantuM, on 11/13/2008, -1/+13maybe you should stop using myspace.
- 8bitflu, on 11/12/2008, -1/+12I visited my mom once and she woke up while I was eating something in her kitchen, I'll be damned if she didn't eat that whole damn plate of 7 layer been dip.
- MrMysterious, on 11/13/2008, -0/+11Our kids will be taking Ambien as a recreational drug.
- kelpee, on 11/13/2008, -1/+12I use sleeping pills four out of seven nights a week. I have no idea what if anything I do though. I'm asleep. Just before bed a couple of times I've snorked down an entire bag of corn twists because I had something that vaguely felt like the munchies.
- cle2105, on 11/13/2008, -1/+12And yet pot, the ultimate sleep aid, is still illegal. WTF?
- HotBaconSauce, on 11/13/2008, -0/+113 Ambien made my brother rearrange some drywall after a quarrel with a flight of stairs.
- nj10ii, on 11/13/2008, -0/+11But did your ass hurt the next day?
- Subterfug, on 11/13/2008, -0/+10Ambien can do some crazy things to people. I knew a guy who took Ambien CR to help him sleep (he worked at night, had to sleep in the day) and he would sleepwalk all over and became a pool god. He whooped everyone's ass at pool - while sleepwalking - and would not remember it when he woke up.
- Spacenoodle, on 11/13/2008, -0/+10I took two Ambiens (or Stilnox as they are called here in Australia) one night after a couple beers. The next morning I woke up and someone taken a Sharpie and had drawn ***** all over the fridge, oven, stove, kettle... in fact every surface in the kitchen was covered in *****...
That was the last time I ever took Stilnox. - roodammy44, on 11/13/2008, -0/+10I really think most people underestimate the danger of prescription drugs.
Weed is still illegal with no recorded fatalities, it would be a pretty good muscle relaxant.
The world is ***** up when the illegal drugs are safer than the legal ones. - barryiggins, on 11/13/2008, -1/+11Are you talking about LSD?
The last thing I'd be able to do while tripping is fall asleep - socialpyramid, on 11/12/2008, -3/+13This guy who was a friend of friends was prescribed some muscle relaxer because he was having back pain. Then the next day at work he slumped over and died at his desk, completely unexpected. He was in his lower 20s, recently married and not long out of college. He had one of those "rare interactions" drug companies warn you about in the pages of fine print.
- Shdwdrgn, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9I was given ambien to help sleep while recovering from a broken leg. My girlfriend told me after a couple weeks that every time I took it, I would keep her awake for an hour talking about things. I've walked around the house some, too, but that's about it.
And as mentioned above, yeah this ***** kicks in FAST! I can pretty much guarantee that about 10 minutes after I take it, I start losing muscle control, and it's all I can do to make it to bed. The stuff works great for making sure you go to sleep, but if you don't exactly feel 'rested' the next morning, there's probably a good reason. - Ganpachi, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9So are the things they try and fix.
- doctechnical, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9Here's hoping she commemorated the event by posting pictures of it all over the interwebs.
- vilago, on 11/13/2008, -1/+10maybe you really wanna be tom cruise deep down inside
- twinklyJesus, on 11/13/2008, -1/+10You can't sleep on LSD. Someone has been ripping you off.
- ldeimos, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9My stepfather used to take Ambien and it caused him to binge eat in the middle of the night. My mother tried to lock all their food in a standing freezer but he ended up picking the lock on that too. He also went outside and stood on the lawn naked a few times. It's a bad drug.
- doctechnical, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9I suggest you add a little more detail and mail this to the Penthouse Forum.
- seastobble, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9well yeah, if you drink or anything with it like some of these comments have said, it's gonna ***** you up. I would take 2 Ambien CR, right before bed, and have never slept better in my life (however, one of my family members took it, drove 30 miles round trip, and woke up the next morning, realizing she had been driving in the wrong lane). that's scary as *****.
- dereksdontrun, on 11/13/2008, -1/+10This article is so apologetic! It's like they are reporting on the potential side effects, but don't want to piss off pharmaceutical companies.
"...and it's a small price to pay for the relief that medication can bring. "
"Even so, it's still worth it "
"...her prescription ran out... her new doctor refused to prescribe more pills. She spent a few miserable months barely getting by.... until she found another physician who renewed her Ambien prescription." - MrBogard, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8Have you ever done acid? Because, no it's not.
- bioprez, on 11/13/2008, -1/+9after reading all these stories, i don't think ill ever try ambien...the risk of somethign happening while unconscious seems too high (driving, going to bars, doing random stuff you can't remember). Wonder how many people have ruined they reputation under this drug.
- L4mb, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8i was on this drug for about a year. I drove on it, went to parties, pissed in a friends drawers, and basically did horrible things i will never mention to anyone. The only reason i know these things is because i was with friends or saw a pic on facebook and wonder wtf i dont remember being there. They don't even know how it works, its a ***** chemistry experiment in ur brain. Will never ever take this drug again.
- damnthatsweird, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8Dugg for "snorked"
- jcsoc, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7A friend of a friend took ambien one night, woke up called a friend and ended up driving 20 miles, went out to bars, found an alternate way back to his house, and reported his car stolen in the morning because he didn't remember anything of the events of the night while he was on ambien and thought someone stole his car from his driveway.
- samoscratch, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7Wow your friend is a real class act
- banter, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7I had a friend who did take Ambien recreationally, going so far as to say it was his island drug. He claimed it made him feel good about shapes.
One night he ended up in a gas station in his underwear. - exscape, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7The kids already do so. 5-10 pills and staying awake = WEIRD hallucinations, apparently. It can be pretty dangerous though (when overdosing and staying awake, that is) - I read about one guy (girl?) who woke up on the kitchen floor, bleeding, with his/her arms all scarred.
Personally, I'm not much for that kind of stuff. I take one (not Ambien, though) and go to bed. - emailyourbuddy, on 11/13/2008, -1/+8I took it for a week and got on Skype one night and called like 20 people in a huge group chat talking about crazy stuff. I don't remember much, but I had typed some stuff in the group chat that was just insane and funny to read when I woke up the next morning.
- nj10ii, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7another good thing about finding your wallet would have been that you weren't naked. Think about waking up naked at 7-11 in front of the ice cream cooler.
- barryiggins, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7dude... That is an Oscar-caliber screenplay waiting to write itself
- last337, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7I do this all the time and always wondered why. I used to take Ambien but found that I really didnt get a good night sleep. Lunesta worked much better with the exception of the horrible taste it put in your mouth.
I still sleep eat though. Sometimes the only way I can tell if I have eaten is to look for dirty dishes in the kitchen. It can be quite dangerous if you are the type that doesnt clean the fridge often. I have woken up in the morning with quite a stomach ache only to found that I ate some leftovers that had been in the fridge too long.
I did drive to 7-11 one time and woke up in front of the ice cream cooler. Good thing I had my wallet b/c I at least was able to get some Ben & Jerrys - theartfuldodgr, on 11/13/2008, -0/+6seriously, a few tokes about 20 mins before bed and it's lights out. unless you really smoked yourself stupid you feel fine in the morning.
- OwdenBowden, on 11/13/2008, -0/+6I think the Problem here is the fact that Nobody pays attention to the SIDE EFFECTS!
If you would just listen to what they say are "Some of the Side Effects" and you still want to take that crap then you deserve what you get.
Another great example is the Weight loss pill Alli. Here you have the side effect of "Uncontrolled, spontaneous bowel movements (known as fecal incontinence) ". Translation - you ***** yourself without knowing. WOW - You look great but now smell like *****.
AMBIEN Side-effects at any dose may include:
* Anterograde amnesia
* Hallucinations, through all physical senses, of varying intensity
* Delusions
* Altered thought patterns
* Ataxia or poor motor coordination, difficulty maintaining balance[30]
* Euphoria and/or dysphoria
* Increased appetite
* Decreased libido
* Amnesia
* Impaired judgment and reasoning
* Uninhibited extroversion in social or interpersonal settings
* Increased impulsivity
* When stopped, rebound insomnia may occur - inactive, on 11/13/2008, -1/+7Here's an idea fat asses, skip the drugs and exercise! Tired people sleep well.
I once asked a stone mason from out in the country how he lifted so many 200lb stone blocks up 30' to build my chiney. He looked at me with his one good eye and said, "makes ya sleep good!" - Knowltey, on 11/13/2008, -0/+6You Aussies and your *****. I think that's the funniest comment so far in this Digg article.
