>I had a horrifying experience with Ambien. Actually it wasn't horrifying for me, I don't remember a damn thing, my husband was certainly distraught, though! I had just started on Ambien, I couldn't get to sleep at all, so I stayed awake all night. Around 7 am I decided to take another pill to try to sleep again. That was my major mistake. After that I apparently forgot that I had taken a pill and took more. I ended up taking about 6 of them within the space of 2 hours. I also took an entire package of dramamine. Don't ask, I don't know why. My husband said I was running around the house looking for more pills to take. If he hadn't been home with me, I wouldn't be typing this right now! He ended up throwing me in the shower to keep me awake. He probably should have called 911 but they would have considered it a suicide attempt and locked me up for a while. That would suck. Either way, I don't have a solution for you, just be careful while taking this drug. I quit taking it, it's not worth the trouble I put my family through.
