Re: No memory/ambien can be dangerous

[Guest guest]

fyi for anyone who takes ambien..it can be very dangerous if you do not go

directly to bed..thus the memory loss. It is like you fall asleep wherever you

are and start sleep walking. I did something horrible one time on it and thank

goodness I did not hurt my fiance, but I took an ambien stayed up and then took

a pair of sciccors and tried to cut his hand off..not good. won't ever take

ambien again. And don't worry my fiance woke up in time to stop me from cutting

his hand so he didn't get hurt.

When I need it (I was taking it every night for a while but haven't needed

it in about 2 months now) I take Ambien. My family call it my Drunk Pill as

that is how I stagger around after I take it. That is the only effect it

has on me. However, I have heard some strange side effects from it. My MIL

used to have satanic dreams from it; our friend who was like 80 at the time,

used to see little people all over his house. One day he ran straight

through the screen door and up the road to a strangers house to get help

getting the little people out of his house. Something that has side effects

like this cannot be good for you.

Well, I haven't had that experience but I ususally only use half od one and once I feel the familiar "shift" I know its time to lay down. I can't imagine a reaction like that unless someone was already horrifically sleep deprived.
