In reply to ambiem & "flipp out episoded" /???anyone pls same?, posted by Mrs,Thomas on August 29, 1998, at 8:19:42
I have had several episodes of hallucinations on ambien. If I dont go to bed after I take it I'll start dreaming anyhow. I was also in the habit of writing in my journal before going to sleep, and the entries got very bizzar. However, I have narcolepsy, so hypnagogic hallucinations, while not common for me, have happened before without the help of pharmaceuticals. I asked my psych about the ambien hallucinations out of curiousity and she said she hadnt heard of it, but would assume it was due to activation of my sleep disorder. I'm told what I experience on ambien is similar to what people experience with hallucinogens, except that I'll end up falling asleep and not remembering too much the next morning.
