Recently my doctor let me try a 7 day trial of Ambien CR- I did not feel much of a difference. I have read many of the blogs that people have written and they seem to have the same problem as me... sometimes it works and sometimes it does nothing! Actually its been two weeks since I last took it until tonight and it seems to be having no effect. If anyone has a solution I would love to hear about it.

She'll take 2 ambien each night and that hasn't been "enough" for the past year. She's miserable.<br />I would think moving more (exercise) would wear you out. I mean, you'd be hard pressed to find an insomniac field or farm hand. When I have trouble sleeping I exercise (low impact walking or swimming, to avoid injury) once in the morning and once after work. I. AM. EXHAUSTED. That's all I need for the very deepest sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246230470697724789.post-51876863562860051842010-09-21T16:17:20.850-07:002010-09-21T16:17:20.850-07:00Ambien is good, but I wouldn't recommend takin...Ambien is good, but I wouldn't recommend taking them for a long time. After a while your body depends on the pills and it could get pretty ugly when even 2 Ambien doesn't do the trick. Then where are you going to be? Treat the anxiety and depression in a non-pill way.

I was in a really crappy mood today and a friend of mine who works in my office (Tammy @ From Fat to Fab) was reading your blog and just couldn't stop laughing. So I just had to read. Like you I was losing weight and life got in the way, so I went back to my old habits and gained most of the weight back. I am now back on track (for today) and hope to succeed.

But here's the deal- I only take 1/3 pf a 10 mg pill. Now I tend to go to bed late and wake up early, like I'm only shooting for 6-7 hours, but still, that's all I can handle. And the great thing is that since I have to pay for it out of pocket, that makes my rx last three times as long! So try a half, you total nut, and maybe that'll stop your otherworldly experiences!Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246230470697724789.post-51305108434792948412010-09-14T13:41:01.846-07:002010-09-14T13:41:01.846-07:00My boss is now looking at me all weird because I&#...My boss is now looking at me all weird because I'm giggling at my desk (I guess paying the bills shouldn't be this funny).

You just crack me up. <br /><br />I have an ambien story for ya though about my mom. We called it "sleep baking" lol. I live 2 hours from my mom but she's always calling me with something crazy to tell. So she calls me one day says:<br /><br />"I don't know what happened Dawn but I woke up and when I went to the kitchen it looks like I must have made a cake." I was like "what are you talking about mom?" She says "well there's all this stuff out, box cake mix, milk, eggs, everything is on the table but I don't know where the cake is." <br /><br />Now my mom says some crazy sounding stuff and at this point she's not making any sense to me. <br /><br />So then she says "oh here it is" "I put it in the microwave but it's not cooked". <br /><br />At this point I'm like mom what have you been taking and she tells me about ambien so I tell her I think it's best she doesn't take it anymore. <br /><br />About a week after that she calls and says "dawn I almost burnt the house down". She goes on to tell me she woke up to a bad smell and when she went to heat up the dogs food she found a pile of ash in the microwave. She also found the bottom piece of the microwave (the piece under the glass plate) all melted. She figured out she had put a frozen tv dinner in there in her sleep for who knows how long. Long enough to burn it into a pile of unrecognizable ash anyway. She also said she had been finding the cereal out and other food items on the table in the morning so had been getting up and eating too. Anyway, finally she quit taking the ambien. <br /><br />So please be careful or you might really be running around naked yelling fire!!!!!bbubblybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423578980112090148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246230470697724789.post-21444542932379205572010-09-14T12:12:51.727-07:002010-09-14T12:12:51.727-07:00Maybe Jeff would ditch the bong and start hoarding...Maybe Jeff would ditch the bong and start hoarding your Ambien if he knew the kinds of trippy happenings it aparently induces!!

They pay instead of anti-anxiety pills that will surely send me to Betty Ford.<br />It's worth it to turn off the monkey mind.Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246230470697724789.post-50365291447445271112010-09-14T08:46:41.049-07:002010-09-14T08:46:41.049-07:00Jeff is gonna catch on that you're out of it a...Jeff is gonna catch on that you're out of it and you're gonna have some non consensual Ambien sexin goin onDinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601593510562379947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246230470697724789.post-2334173931673782602010-09-14T08:10:58.520-07:002010-09-14T08:10:58.520-07:00Your writing is pure genious.
