anyone take ambien and have weird things happen?

[Guest guest]

I take ambiem 1-2 caplets before bed if I have had insomnia for a

few nights in a row. Works good over all but I have noticed

sometimes before I get sleepy I get a a little burst of energy for

about a half hour. During this time I really am mentally in a dream

pattern BUT I am awake. So basically I am act somehwat bizarely

durings time. To avoid embarrassing results I try to stay away from

a email and webmail. *smile*

Anyone else experience this or other bizare mental changes while

taking ambien or other sleeping aid>

Thanks,

Bert

Hey folks,

Let's remember that different drugs generally react or interact a little

differently with different people. And that considering those with a chronic

disease the differences may and even are more likely. The old medical profession

would like nothing more than to have a " magic bullet " that would work exactly as

advertised, but that just don't happen yet. And remember advertising, those

people that make up all the imagery and commercials and studies, etal ... well

if you listen or read closely and really accept the words, well they have more

weasel outs that a forest of ermine like critters.

So, sit back, have a sip of water, or tea, or whatever floats your individual

boat and remember to try to be a good patient. Cultivate a good relationship

with your Dr., be aware of how things affect YOU, be very aware of yourself

and how you are feeling, try to get good treatment, the right drugs, and good

luck to all of that because this Chronic Panc. is a disease that varies

sometimes and whatever worked last time just might not do so well this time. So

remember to be honest, flexible and thankful that you do have the opportunity to

try

to survive another episode.

Best Wishes to all

Bert,

I have tried to pair Ambien with my percocet to counteract the

" wiredness " I get while taking percocet and can tell you that the ambien

does nothing for me. I have also taken it by itself and have had it do

nothing for me.
