What kind of side effects do you get?

None, just really great sleep.

it kept me up

LMAO, um, it was like usingsome recreational drug.. It was very effective in putting me to sleep, but not keeping me to sleep, I would wake up hullucinating (sp)..  

I took Ambien one time because I couldn't sleep and it kept me up all night talking to myself...it was really weird.

That's interesting. I took some like an hour ago and everything keep floating... I feel like I'm tripping or something.

I get some very VERY life-like dreams. I have been on Ambien for about 6 months now, and I have a a lot of memory loss

Me too. I like it.

It works better for me than other sleep aids because it kinda relaxes you to sleep instead of just knocking you out. Gotta watch out though, because it often makes you giddy. Think drunk dialing to tell everyone you ever met that you love themwhen you haven't had a drink.

OMG they gave it to me once when I was having contractions but I wasn't progressing..so they wanted me to go home, get some sleep and come back if they were still happening...not freaking 10 minutes after I took it..I felt drunk!!! I was seeing mulitples of cars on the road ( thank goodness someone drove me) , and I was like sexting my dh....ran into the garage door trying to get to the front door, but I couldn't walk right, and I passed right out when I laid down and I slept for at least 12 hours!!

What are you planning on taking it for?

Really? As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out. But I like to take it then stay up for like an hour.

haha, yepp, that's what it does if you keep yourself awake on it, I know people who "use" it as a drug.....

Just sleep. I have the worst trouble falling asleep so he gave my Ambien CR,

I wouldn't "use" it like that. I use it to go to sleep, but I like the feeling I get before I go to bed.

well it made me feel drunk until I went to sleep but it really helped me get to sleep..I have REALLY bad problems sleeping!!
