Oh Ambien.....
I started taking it again because I just haven't been sleeping at night and it is the closest thing to a roofie I can think of. My two posts from last night were Ambien induced because I didn't "feel" it was taken effect yet and I got online. BAD MISTAKE.
Apparently I had an hour long conversation with SIL and told her that Ross is a place for cheap out of date hand me downs from failing stores. (she loves Ross) Whoops. At least I didn't get TOO honest with her.....
I also managed to make coffee plans with a friend.....and had to rush to get ready when she called me and told me she was heading to starbucs....
I organized our computer room and alphabetized our entire movie collection (about 400 dvds) and alphabetized the files in our cabinet...
I drew a "picture" of my dog sleeping and put it on my fridge with a magnet...
AND I painted my toe nails...which I didnt notice till I was at Starbucs and then I was hiding my toes the rest of the time i was there. I obviously don't stay in the lines very well when drugged.
What the hell? At least I was productive?
Re: Oh Ambien.....
Ha... I'm ridiculously anal about our movies being in alphabetical order. Adam makes fun of me all the time for it. When his brother and his family stayed at our house for the wedding, his brother put back the movies not in order and as soon as they left the house, I had to put them back right.
Ok so I am really confused about Ambien.
I am pretty sure my brother took Ambien for a while and would make phone calls and things and not remember.
So I guess my question is, how does it make you feel? I thought it was suppose to knock you out but from your post and my brother it sounds like it just kind of shuts off your memory!?
You're basically supposed to take it and go to bed. If you stay up you will start to do crazy things. But you're brain still kind of goes to sleep - hence the reason you usually do not remember your Ambien induced activities.
Sounds like being black out drunk without the hang over.
I don't think I would be very productive in this state.
Ambien does that to a lot of people. When my patients have it ordered, I'm really careful because it can make people really confused. I had this one patient who was completely with it and compliant, but when he got his ambien, he was getting out of bed without calling, he was confused....I'm not a fan of it.
I took it once on a plane ride from Memphis to Amsterdam (we were going from FL to Switzerland) and all I remember is getting up to go to the bathroom on the airplane, and I'm really surprised I was able to do that.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
THIS EXACTLY! I love Jen Lancaster!
FREAKY. Is this... um... restful? Do you come out of it and feel like you had a good night's sleep? That doesn't seem possible. So what's the benefit?
